There is a clear and agreeable definition of "experience" - it's the application that we disagree upon, and that application can certainly be discussed among reasonable people because it is entirely personal.

There is no "right or wrong" or "good or bad" in this sense. If that invalidates discussion, then it invalidates all discussion over anything that is not quantitative, and discussion over quantitative items should actually be moot (since, presumably, the data will speak for themselves).
