But to say there's NO basis for comparison? That's falling into the old "you can't possibly understand" argument. Humans learn to understand new concepts by relating them to more familiar ones. That doesn't impart a full grokking of the other person's experience -- nothing can really do that outside of sci-fi or fantasy. But while you may not be able to fit into the other fellow's shoes, you can perhaps try on a similar style.
