To What Extent is Sense of Perception an Accurate Way of Knowing?

Our sense of perception is our only option for perceiving the world we come into contact with everyday. The absence of any of our senses can lead to chaos since we were born to rely on them. Although they may seem very useful, there are examples when we miss out something that is around us because our attention has been diverted into a different thing. For instance, many people missed out the Gorilla when trying to count the number of passes made. Our attention has been diverted onto the ball instead of the scenery as a whole, and thus we miss out on the gorilla. Another example of the flaws of our senses is the card changing magic trick. When we see the name of this video, our brains automatically divert all our attention onto the colour of the card instead of the scenary as a whole again. And therefore, we miss out on the colour changes on the background. Even though our ears hear the crew attempting to change the colours, our brain automatically perceives it to be some insignificant noise which we can ignore.

I believe that our senses are only accurate to a certain extent when our attention is diverted to a certain object. I think the evidence is not trying to disprove the accuracy of our senses but is only trying to tell us not to focus on a point in a way that we ignore the things that are happening around us.
