If the comment was that two people with different backgrounds might use different reasoning which may result in different conclusions I would probably agree ...
Realistically, the difference in life experiences between a 65 year old upper class white straight Protestant man who was raised in the mid-west would have a very different life experience than a 45 year old lower class black Muslim lesbian woman who was raised in California. Either experience could lead to one judge being better than the other, it really just depends on whether one judge can retain their dispassionate objectivity better than the other.
