That linked article about the Big Bang makes complete sense to me. We, as humans, are indeed limited by our ability to perceive our world and many of us are unfortunately stuck with the notion that if we can't perceive something, it either doesn't affect us or it doesn't exist. Both of these, in fact, couldn't be further from the truth.
BTW, that comment may have indeed been boneheaded, but I still find it funny.
If nothing else, it acts as a caution against taking ourselves too seriously.
