That made no sense at all. Experiences aren't the bearers of truth, propositions in language are. This is why there is a conceptual difference between "fact" and "truth". The latter is a human construction intended efficiently convey the former to others. Experiences are experiences, truth has nothing to do with them intrinsically. After all, people can have mutually exclusive experiences, but not truths (assuming the sqme definition of truth is being employed by both parties).
