But you never do. Instead, you sit down at your computer, and complain to us. Thanks for that.3/6/2013 9:57:25 AM |

1. Complains about frequency of anecdotal evidence. 2. Provides no evidence of frequency of anecdotal evidence. 3/6/2013 10:01:34 AM |

That's the whole point. This is not a debate. This is when you use anecdotes.

Anecdotal evidence is fine as long as you portray it as such and use it for what it is. 3/6/2013 10:45:55 AM |

Okay if I say "70% of blah blah blah" don't say "Well my brother did blah blah blah"

All I'm saying is there is a difference between saying "I think sometimes people do xxx" than "One time my gf did xxx"
