So you're saying literally every time this topic comes up, you hear anecdotes that the remedy went too far? Sounds like evidence the remedy has gone too far.

- pm90 4y agoNah, still not evidence of anything, it’s still anecdotes.
- kareemsabri 4y agoAnecdotes are evidence. Somehow "data driven" people got the mistaken idea they aren't.
- pm90 4y agoData driven people know that the quality of data and how its collected is important and justifiably dismiss anecdotal data which doesn’t meet those standards. GIGO.
- kareemsabri 4y agoWhat is "anecdotal data" and how does it differ from non-anecdotal data? How do data collection methods on something like micro-aggressions ensure no low quality "anecdotal data" gets in? It would be more defensible to claim anecdotes were lower quality evidence than "data" (assuming such a distinction were clear, which I'm not sure it is) than to claim they simply aren't evidence.
