Personal experience is called empiricism aka the scientific method. It can be a good arguement but only when the person has really honed their hypothesis otherwise you can prove anything with empiricism.

Ne is about discarding reality. Ne doesn't see the box, it sees the possibility of the jack in the box. I would say this is half of Ne. The other half is abstractions such as numbers. Ne can generate ideas or virtualize reality.
