Lots of interesting anecdotes, but anecdotes are not proof of anything. What you have posted reads like nothing more than fantasy tales laced with confirmation bias. I've heard similar stories from Muslims, Jews, Native Americans, and even practitioners of Wicca.
maybe not in your imaginary world, but here in C-137 ( I know pre2013 it references a DC-3, but here it references a rick and morty joke for you old people) Eye witness testimony is strong enough to sentence a man to death. personal testimony about a business or a restaurant can literally be the sole determination if it is successful or fails (ever hear of Yelp/It's another not old person thing look it up.)
maybe where you are from (the universe where people have hamsters driving them through their asses) when people (Say 2.2 billion ie the christian population of the world,) tell you there is a guy giving out 100 dollar bills on the corner of X and 3rd at 3:00PM every day if you compliment his hat. the LOGICAL thing to do is go and see for yourself and approach this guy on his terms and not through some stupid scientific method designed to fail as it is not following the prescription the man handing our the money demands!
Which STILL doesn't alter the fact that your personal anecdotes are not proof of anything.
