I see the statement as making the case for an idealist philosophical perspective. I.e. the subject that we're really exploring is the human mind, not the universe. Of course you don't have to agree with that. To me it seems clear that we can explore the universe, or at least get real close. But it's easy to see the value of an anthropocentric perspective. At the end of the day we're stuck being human.
