Sorry to diagree with you on this - I have clarified this very point with
the FAA, and was told that a sport pilot CAN fly an experimental if it meets
the limitations.

No, the aircraft would have to be "certified" (vernacular use; not a
certified aircraft) as an Experimental Light Sport Aircraft.

The Experimental "certification" process does not ensure that the aircraft
meets the criteria for an LSA.
