Yes, I wasn't that clear. 
<latro'a> it's a deficit I've noticed recently: fact memory and experiential memory really have almost nothing to do with one another
<latro'a> x1 remembers experience x2 (nu); x1 lifri x2 is implied
<latro'a> remembering experiences is really more rather than less fundamental than remembering facts

However, let me explain myself.
First example implies {ba'anai}. The second one implies {ka'u}.

Consider one more example.
2. I remember kissing her.
3. I remember that many boys kiss girls.

The third example has nothing to do with experiential memory. It's just something that we read from books, know our parents, friends etc. It's something like cultural experience so {ti'e} and {ka'u} would fit here.

The next problem is that {ba'a} seems to mi several things.
ba'a - I expect
ba'acu'i - I experience
ba'anai - I remember

If we try to map this to gismu we will get

ba'a - sei mi kanpe
ba'acu'i - sei mi lifri
ba'anai - sei mi morji

{lifri} is really odd in this set of three.
However, experiential memory would fit together with {lifri} to forma new scale. It'd be tempting to add future memory to this new set meaning
"I have a presentiment/foreboding that ..."

The page http://www.lojban.org/tiki/BPFK+Section%3A+Evidentials has very strange definitions of {ba'a}-set. I wish someone could make them more understandable by e.g. explaining them through bridi in deep gismu structure format.

Which concept are you missing?
I don't get at all, what you're talking about.
At least, you could try to construct lojban examples of usage
for your proposal..
