Anecdotal data is... not particularly useful.

  yeah but also a list someone typed is just a list someone typed.

    But a list derived from a data set is as valid as the data set.
    • pasquinelli 5y ago
      yes, i agree.
    • Grazester 5y ago
      My concern is where and how this data is collected.

        Apparently, the World Bank. Middling trustworthiness. http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GNP.PCAP.PP.CD?year_high_desc=true http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GNP.PCAP.PP.CD?year_h...

  IMO "anecdotal data" is perfect to show what's going on. It's like "Abstract" section from RFCs or similiar things in scientific papers. And it is usually used that way: as colorful summary.
