I believe that as well. One can easily identify how they understand. They can see how things can or cannot fit into the world that they live within in comparison.

However they can only identify or empathise to an exact finite point, a person who has had a similar or same experience can go even further.

This is easily exampled in education from sciences to math, language to history. The experience you have yields at some point and past that one can only comprehend to point. It's beyond that point that it's conjecture rather than fact.

What is truly unacceptable is to make judgement.

edit: Even better example those that have no kids telling those that have kids how to or what can help them. I can only give some understanding of what I see and experience since I have no children of my own. While I care for my nephew for 1-2 hours when I visit him once or twice a year, that's the finite point of my experience.

Those who have children in their care for a short period of time such as day care workers or teachers have a more insight. But since they don't have the full emotional bond and responsibility of a child 24/7, they hit a wall at some point.

Only another parent can fully understand truly what the frustrations and solutions are, but they still have no place judging another parent, because ultimately they don't have all 100% of the information for that situation.
