I happen to agree with this very strongly, in that the qualities of the 
knowledge is often very heavily dependent on the qualities of the 
experience. I have objective knowledge that springs from objective 
experience as well as subjective knowledge that springs from very 
personal, subjective experiences. But I am careful to distinguish 
between them where they disagree. I am not the buddha, but I have 
grasped this bit of the buddha-nature.

Do you have objective reasons to think they have, or is the belief based 
on their consistent assertion that they have?
