(of an account) not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research.
What part of MEDICAL STUDY did you not understand? Or are you saying that medical studies are consider anecdotal evidence.
What did I expect discussing science with a person who couldn't even get the scientific method correct... And of course Stimbo is right there to kudos some BS.
The data of the study is anecdotal reports. It's pretty simple Huggy. Getting reports of personal experience can only be anecdotal. Does this make it false? Nope. But it does require something much more before we can just say "Oh, well they reported their experiences so their experiences must be true" and jumping to the conclusion that consciousness can exist completely removed from the physical state of the brain.
And that shot at me about the scientific method - that used to be in your signature, whatever happened to that?
