It wouldn't be good to assume that, if apples fall up all the time also. In that world it would bad to use your personal experience of aples always falling down as the benchmark, since others have seen the opposite just as often.

But since in our reality, nobody anywhere has seen an apple fall a direction other than the pull of gravity. In that situation where your personal experience lines with everyone elses also, you aren't just using your experience you're using everyone's. That's a good reason to believe the apple will fall to the ground.
