Both of the people above me gave excellent answers! I would add that only an ABSOLUTE STANDARD can refute experience; only something that is objective and static can refute something as subjective as experience.

You can only refute experience by subsequent experience. The first experience may prove to have been an anomoly by the weight of later results.

Through subjectification. Even if the experience has been of a group, it's still not going to apply to the whole of humanity. Too many languages and understandings from this that allow anyone to move much beyond (if even agree that..) man is mortal.

Experience is subjective and interpreted through an individual's own preconceptions and past experiences. If you can determine those preconcepts which are relevant to the experience under question, and you can re-examine and re-cast those, then the interpretation of experience may change as well. Essentially changing the experience.

We can't. We can only refute that person's perception and translation of that experience.
