Therefore I would say that your definition of what is "empirical" has been reduced to senselessness, given universal, historical human experience, and just plain common sense.

My definition of "empirical" differed from yours only in the exclusion of "experience". Since you've declared that to reduce it to "senselessness", then apparently you consider only "experience" to be sensical, and all the rest to be nonsense.

I'll take your opinion on this matter into consideration based on it's apparent logical consistency and practicality if that's what you wish.

Why do you see this as an "either/or" situation?
