While I can agree that personal experiences don't amount to evidence because there is no evidence to back it up (pics or it didn't happen)... I can't agree with the second part of your statement. I think you've worded it wrong/weird. If you want to create a fountain of coke, for example, and take some mentos and put it in the coke, and create of fountain of coke, that is something that happened because you want it to.
