Models based on personal experience that seem miscalibrated to reality may in fact represent superior models in such cases where they have equal predictive power in respect to the bulk of normal cases. But constructing such a model depends on faith in the senses.

I own that most of my experiences are not valid foundations of anything, but some are, even if this truth is inexplicable according to the models with the most verisimilitude.
