Like most licenses, the endorsement is a license to learn, not a certificate that you know everything.
Experience can only be developed over time. You don't gain experience in a classroom or over a weekend course. You gain experience by practicing the skills you learn in the MSF until they are second nature - in other words, you can ride without having to consciously focus on the mechanics of riding. The act of controlling the bike should be "automatic", so that you can concentrate 100% of your attention on the traffic around you and the road ahead of you.
That's also why it's so important to repeatedly practice maneuvers like an emergency stop - when you need to make a fast stop, your brain should be able to perform the maneuver without "thinking" about it first.
