I don't think you can get an accurate answer of something like the question you posed by those not of the demographic.
@Epic Beard Man had said this in a different thread. Behind this statement is the idea that some things require in group experience in order to accurately speak to an issue. This notion is often touted. I am wondering when we people believe it is true and when they do not.
Common areas where we see this notion are parenting discussions, sex/gender discussions, race discussions and even spiritual discussions.
Do you feel that in-group experience is a prerequisite to accurate understanding on all issues? Some issues? No issues? Which issues, if any, is experience a prerequisite? Why or why not?
I am wondering if someone can defend the idea with an internally consistent approach, or if someone can unseat the idea without just pointing to the obvious question begging.
