No, he was arguing we couldn't have an _experience_ of non-euclidean geometry. Have you had an non-euclidean experience? Do you perceive in reimannian geometry? Or, do you use a (quasi) euclidean form of perception to attempt to re-present your account of what is non-euclidean?
*I say quasi because it seems like Euclid made certain assumptions about geometical axioms _because_ the axioms corresponded to the way we experience the world. So euclid described our forms of experience, our forms of experience aren't what conformed to Euclid.
