Full Idea
In experience we learn propositions, since someone can reason using the sentence 'Red looks like this' (e.g. 'If red looks like this, then either it looks like this to dogs or it doesn't').
Gist of Idea
Experience teaches us propositions, because we can reason about our phenomenal experience

A Reaction
The fact that we can create propositions about experiences doesn't prove that experience is inherently propositional.
