Basically what I am getting at is that when people have first ahnd experience with something, hands on, so to speak, they have a greater foundation from which to speak. For example, if you have never smoked pot, you really can't say what it is about. People often times go through life living through the experiences of other people, and taking that second hand experience as truth. If I have never known anyone who was schizophrenic, I can read all day long about the disorder, but now that I know someone who is schizophrenic, that information falls into place perfectly. Before, I had nothing to put with the information I had read.
