We all know that an anecdote is not data, but being so dismissive towards someone with specific industry knowledge seems inappropriate.
- falcolas 6y agoFWIW, the grandparent's industry specific knowledge is in investment into developing renewable energy companies. This isn't very applicable to the article or problem at hand.

Specifically, it's an "appeal to [their] authority" on the subject, but they don't have that requisite 'authority'.
- gwright 6y agoSince when is providing some background about your experience considered a negative? You should try to be a bit more generous and not assume, on almost non-existent evidence, that someone is being disingenuous.
