AJ,

<<If what we experience cannot be conceptualized or articulated because there is no existing language to describe it, did we really experience it?>>

People with normal vision immediatly know the difference between a red ball and a green one. I have tried, without success, to find the words to describe the difference to a person who was profoundly blind since birth, so that if he suddenly could see he would know which was which with certainty. Can you do so?

I am quite certain that I have experienced red and green balls, yet I can't really describe that difference in color.
