Also, the plural of anecdote is data:

S1 = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 ...
1 - S1 = 1 - [1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 ...] = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 ... = S1

Grognard:
stop that.
you're reinforcing my perception that I'm dumb as a box of rocks.

It's a clever quote, because of course it's true - if enough people say that something has happened to them, then collectively their answers are labelled "research data" - but also it is not true - saying something multiple times doesn't increase its validity.

Though not very good data. For starters, aggregating anecdotes is just going to lead to a massive confirmation bias. Think of what happens when you compare the number of anecdotes about Jews being greedy to the number of anecdotes about them not being greedy.
