Here, by "echolocatory experiences" I mean "apparent echolocatory experiences" -- hallucinations also count.

And as long as he knows that they are apparent memories of echolocation, he knows what it is like to echolocate, even though he has never had an apparent echolocatory experience.

-
One only knows what it is like to echolocate if one has had echolocatory experiences.

To get around this counterexample, we would need to modify (1) to say that one only knows what it is like to echolocate if one has either had an echolocatory experience or one has an apparent memory of one or one has an occurrent imagination of echolocation or one has an apparent memory of having imagined echolocation.

So maybe we should modify (1) to say that one only knows what it is like to echolocate if one has either had an echolocatory experience or one has an apparent memory of one (maybe we can even drop the first disjunct).
