Being short-changed takes on a different meaning if it was deliberate and not accidental. Experience can be interpreted differently. Each major worldview is able to account for all the data of experience. To use experience to justify experience is to argue in a circle. Experience in itself has no meaning.

It is empirically or experientially based. Truth is based in facts or events. There is a distinction between facts and interpretation.
