Krim, you asked ...
"Shouldn't a belief system be judged by the amount of original
experience it gives rise to?"

This is where DMB is right, that you have misunderstood (talking past)
the basic point about first-hand and second hand beliefs. Experience
doesn't "arise" out of anything other than experience ... and the
belief systems arise out of the experience (unless you prefer yours
second hand ?).
