Denial of what exactly?

of reality. Because you dont acknowledge you trust others when you validate the blockchain. For example with freshly installed linux operating system of your choice you most likely trust others who evalated every line of the code, and nothing interfere when your Bitcoin software validate the blockchain. The same with hardware, and so on. Individual can not check everything, so he has no other choice than trust others the things he is not checking really behave as he is expecting.

Yes. And now we know that atoms are not the last division of matter. So what? Do you have an actual point related to the amount of trust I need to place in the integrity of THE BITCOIN BLOCKCHAIN?
