With enough anecdotal evidence, you get statistics.

True. The adage that the plural of anecdote is not data is completely wrong. Where people go wrong though, is thinking that a small sampling gives accurate data.
Only once you reach like 95% of the population, until then sampling bias will still cause problems. Ig depending on how precise you want to be.
I learned that enough anecdotes constitutes anecdata.
Stats has nothing to do with the type of evidence. Stats is only what can be assumed from the whole from a sample.

^^This ^^is ^^an ^^automated ^^system.
^^If ^^you ^^have ^^any ^^questions, ^^please ^^use ^^this ^^link ^^to ^^message ^^the ^^moderators.
Statistics are just fancy numbers that come from a good story! I mean, if my grandma says she makes the best cookies in town, who needs a survey.
With something happening an amount of times, you will see the possibilities of something imagined become real
You get a very specific statistic only, because it’s not randomised
