Sense experience does not provide any knowledge on it's own
I don't think anyone here "misused" the word experience. I believe you were using a narrow (though valid) interpretation of the word. You can not expect other people to use a term that has a broader meaning in a such a narrow context. Unless of course you make it clear that you are using the word in a particular way.
