@Lex_Ludendi @RoblovesJC It’s true, Rob. Citing anecdotes as “evidence” is a massive fallacy. Are you unaware of this logical fallacy? https://t.co/hn2UnG7W9G https://t.co/zB6GpdV873
@strugacademic @myangryfist @eyeslasho On anecdotal evidence? That’s been studied thoroughly. https://t.co/DfmOeXb2Nv
@dentonuuf @garylfrancione that's called anecdotal evidence- it's the lowest form of evidence. also... "the presence of anecdotal evidence can serve as a powerful barrier for scientific reasoning and evidence-based decision-making" https://t.co/hipwcSdu2
@ron56_ron @Kathy_Arizona Thank you for another anecdote. https://t.co/WwhHqlJpW4
@SidZ3R0 @EricAbbenante @Timcast I believe you, but I want to stop being condescending just for a moment because maybe there is a part of you that will take a moment to reflect here. Here are some articles that articulate why it's terrible practice to use
@leecarps @KeithGraham53 @SamMezecJsy Keith, Keith, I thought better of you. Government policy should always be formed on evidence and not anecdote. Anyone in politics using anecdotes is merely trying to persuade without the evidence to support it, as per

@CybrpnkDystopia @cryptotwolegs @AnneofKingston @smith_mistah @CNN Anecdotes can be used to establish a hypothesis, but actual science with a control group, with organized sampling, with reproducible results, etc trumps anecdotes. Anecdotes do not disprove
@Gregory47545186 @BGazeer @CefradineSquib @RNCResearch I think this qualifies as "anecdotal evidence." Are you familiar with the concept of anecdotal evidence? https://t.co/8bs6BpixZI
@ChloeBellaMia @elsrbrown Right, because your personal experience is more valid than data. https://t.co/nDZaRYwT0O
Anecdotes have many flaws: https://t.co/FLInFwQotq People tend to make decisions based on prior beliefs, not quality data. https://t.co/sN4r0y7lrB
@an_neach @rugmuncher42069 @ksorbs You know, you don’t have to put the square brackets around everything you type. And since you aren’t knowledgeable about the subject, here’s a paper talking about the dangers of believing anecdotal evidence… https://t.co
@BoomSoon111 @IsiahThomas anecdotal evidence: evidence in the form of stories that people tell about what has happened to them. Example: his conclusions are not supported by data; they are based only on anecdotal evidence. https://t.co/yh525ujUbn
@smokythebandit8 @WillyNaakt @chesaboudin "This indicates a more general problem in people’s decision-making, namely that scientific evidence does not carry as much weight as it should in decisions that are supposedly ‘evidence-based.’" https://t.co/FbwPTS
Evidence-based decisions are more strongly determined by prior beliefs than beliefs about the quality of evidence itself. https://t.co/vPCWRvAHXr
New paper alert! We find that people are willing to act on bad science even when they acknowledge that the science is bad, especially if the hypothesis is highly plausible. Link here: https://t.co/15UUGGIGdY
