The first "taste" is translated as "sense" and the second, "short experience". Are the two same or different? The two are quite complicated to understand.

ex)The tendency to seek information about those who have done more poorly than we have is especailly pronounced when the stakes are high. And if we can't find people who are doing more poorly than we are, we may go out and create them.Volunteers in one study took a test and were then given the opportunity to provide hints that would either help or hinder a friend's performance on the same test. Although volunteers helped their friends when the test was described as a game, they actively hindered their friends when the test was described as an important measure of intellectual ability.
Apparently when our friends do not have the good taste to come in last so that we can enjoy the good taste of coming in first, we give them a friendly push in the appropriate direction. Once we've successfully sabotaged their performances and ensured their failure, they become the perfect standard for comparison.
