Scientists doing studies and people talking on forums can't notice the same thing? Seems pretty common in the healthcare field.

- card_zero 2y ago"Well established anecdotally" is like saying "poorly established".
- Sirizarry 2y agoNot at all. It’s saying that a lot of people have personal stories about it. This is in combination with scientific studies.
- card_zero 2y agoWhy is it an argument for an effect being real that a lot of people have personal stories about it? For instance, a lot of people have stories about mentioning a niche interest while using certain software and that interest later appearing in Google results. That can happen for reasons related to statistics and confirmation bias. Consequently, a lot of people have stories. So what? Some software spies, some doesn't, the rumors aren't how we tell the difference, and "scientifically and anecdotally" is a terrible phase, as if those things were of equivalent merit. Lots of people have stories about bigfoot.
- Sirizarry 2y agoThat’s cool. I’ll keep listening to my friends and family and trusting their word over some angry dude on the internet. Best of luck
