Anecdotes about anything above the mundane can and should never be convincing to anyone but the person telling them.
And even they should be being sceptical about the value of their own anecdotes, if they give a rats ass about reality.
We're relying not only on your honesty, your accurate recollection of events and your ability to communicate said events, but also on your interpretation of those events which almost always amounts to an argument from ignorance or incredulity. Or just plain making it up based on popular mythology.
Anecdotes are worthless. Bring us something we can hit with a spoon. I don't argue that you believe what you are saying, but I do argue that you shouldn't expect anyone else to take it seriously.
