I was going that way for awhile, but ran into an obstacle, because she did
not say only that her experience was different, but also that her validation
is bigger. There are two differences in those statements. The subject of
one is experience while the subject of the other is validation. The
adjective of one is different while the adjective of the other is bigger.
She expressly claims bigger validation, whatever that means.
