Alex,

I think you're mistaken (or else I misunderstood your meaning):

It is not just a "human" limitation; it is in fact deeply ingrained within the laws of quantum mechanics that it is not possible to know both the position and momentum of any particle.

(Or more precisely, both position and momentum together are simultaneously "unknowable" - but in what would no doubt delight Donald Rumsfeld, the extent of their "unknowability" is known quite precisely, and is defined by Planck's Constant.)
