Anecdotal evidence is an oxymoron. It is not evidence. Period. Nope, not even a little.
The scientific method is one of humankind’s most beautiful and significant achievements. It is not a rigid set of rules designed by uptight scientists trying to make things difficult. The scientific method is the only way to discover truth outside human experience and bias. That truth reflects the beauty of this universe - a beauty more powerful, intricate, and stunning than anything mankind has ever invented, will ever invent, or can even imagine.
Anecdotal evidence did not play a part in developing almost everything you use for comfort, communication, travel, and health. The scientific method did.
The greatest failing of modern society is in not teaching its children how to think, and how to go about discovering truth. In doing so we have robbed so many of a beauty revealed through that deeper understanding that is beyond any religious invention, personal bias, social construct, or imagination.
We come mostly deaf and blind to the multidimensional, technicolor opera that is our universe and we miss the show. This is beyond sad.
For knowing - truly knowing - our only hope.
