Kids are still being taught there are five senses, but medicine now
recognises at least 8, and some researchers drive the number as high as
17. A Sense is medically defined as having distinct neuronal receptors
and pathways, and as having a distinct 'processing' region in the brain.
The three generally accepted additional senses are proprioception (body
awareness), nociception (pain) and thermoception (temperature), all of
which were once (improperly) lumped under the heading of "touch".
Balance and inertial senses are also (more or less) generally
acknowledged. Some researchers argue for further distinction between
types of pressure (light versus firm), colour and depth perception, and
types of olfaction.
However, having said this, I don't think it brings DMBs argument into
question, they all still fall under the heading of biological senses.
And I have yet to see a case where empirical methodology accepted any
form of data which was not obtained via one of them.
