If QM is correct and there is no "deeper" hidden variable theory that explains the movement of all particles, then you're wrong.
Heisenberg uncertainty as it exists in QM today is not a statement about your knowledge, it is a statement about the possible interactions between particles. It tells you that if a particle collides with another at a specific point in space, then their trajectories after that collision can't depend on the momentum of either particle, for example, because that would violate the inequality.
This indeed does not necessarily imply randomness per se. But it is much more than a statement about precision of measurements at a human scale: it is a statement about the possible interactions at even the lowest scales.
