I thought we’d already established that you cannot convey “experience”.


True............. not all experience BUT
you can convey some experiences.. as qualia experiences them..

Which is useful to record that some things actually happen..
useful to them to which they didn’t happen..

like “visions”, being born again, the taste of strawberries.. etc..
all described in “magical” terms.. usually inadequate to accurately describe.. any other way..

Fundamental principles of good science are that your work and results must be reproducible by anyone else, there should be a process of peer review where other researchers do exactly that to insure that you haven't made any mistakes.

They can reproduce an experience tasting strawberries. Having a "vision" or being born again, not so much.
