On our senses possibly not being good enough to determine true knowledge:
I dunno... I look at humanity and what it has achieved and can only imagine that it was not dumb luck that e.g. certain particles in rocks accidentally got put in a crusher, thrown in a solution and was allowed to separate into muck and useful metals, accidentally thrown into furnaces, moulded into arbitrary shapes resembling something we apparently call "rockets", filled with an arbitrary solution of stuff that, by coincidence, likes to go "bang" and after all these arbitrary guesses as to how nature works, the clump of metal made it to another planet.
I'd say although we could be limited by our senses, we still damn well know enough to get by and are even able prod at our surroundings to understand those better.
