The phrase "you've obviously never" is equivalent to the phrase "evidently you have not" and is therefore "not making it personal."

The pointer is on the speaker, not the object - it is his own judgment of the evidence. So the discussion should turn to his judgment. If you believe his judgment to be in error, then you might reply "false!" or "you're wrong" etc.
