That extends the bolding to "the world as we observe it."

Are we not observing the world and/or "fabricating mental models" using our limited faculties when we do these things:

We can build machines to do so and read their output. We can also do the maths that predict aggregate quantum outputs and compare them with experimental results. We can perceive macro events.

You are clearly implying (whether you mean to or not) that while all other observations and mental models of the world are unreliable and incomplete due to our limited faculties, quantum mechanics is somehow not subject to those same limitations. But you've presented no justification for such a view.
