Quote:Sure wont, and? How might you best check that...listen to people tell stories........? Ever notice that two people with the same job..one hates it, one loves it..and dependng on who you're listening to it can sound awesome or shitty? Yet another fail for anecdotal evidence.Yep, and I would take into account each person's general disposition when considering their accounts. You ask the question, How might you best check that? but then give no answer yourself. How do you know that people ion a neighborhood are friendly or not? How do you know that you'll be happy with a particular person as your spouse, or that you'll be happier with or without children, or how many you should have?
Again, you're arguing a fallacy, pretending that I'm saying that available facts should be ignored for anecdotal evidence. From the start my position has been that anecdotal evidence is good for situations in which there isn't anything approaching fact available.
