What do you think this word means? Because I do not think it means what you think it means.
Anecdotal evidence is precisely what Finney presented. A single, personal experience that may or may not (in this case, definitely did) reinforce the point at hand. It's the "opposite" of scientific evidence in that it could be an outlier and has not been subjected to rigorous retesting or proof, but it's evidence nonetheless.
My question is: why did everyone read that post as snippy? I honestly read it as "Thanks, Finney, for providing anecdotal evidence that caused Dulrik to reevaluate his position."
Maybe if you guys spent less time reading into other peoples' words you might realize that they don't hate you as much as you seem to want?
Also, bring it.
lol, I guess I've been reading everything from Edoras as being snippy lately. I apologize to him! I don't hate him at all, it's so hard to read into tone on the intarwebz
