What does it say for the science we know when our senses can be deceived?

-
The structure here sets up a general statement or belief for a question or questioning and provides a factual statement (related or not) to set up the question. This is tool is used more as a general tool to produce a reaction which the speaker can then use to gauge the audience later.
This statement itself is deeper than the usual ones I bring out. Think about it. The scientific method is partly based on testing a hypothesis and observing and recording the results. But if our senses can be fooled (and the numerous visual trickery images on the net is a testament to this), what does it say for our observations? Is our science limited to our senses? Is it limited to what our equipment translates what we cannot sense into something we can? Even then, do we lose some data in the process. How does this relate to the concept of a personal reality? If a person is never explained basic scientific concepts and observes them in action, do they come out with the same conclusions?

We are always told that we need to work hard to succeed. However we are less often told about how success itself needs to be maintained. People often think of success as a destination. That success is in of itself a permanent condition. Experience always prove otherwise. More rather than success and failure is more often than not two sides of the same coin. It can also be a cycle of which success follows  failures and failures follow success.
