Still mostly anecdotal, but a better answer, and probably belongs higher up in the thread actually.

- zahlman 2y ago>Still mostly anecdotal In principle, what sort of hard evidence is gathered that could establish the point?
- digging 2y agoI'm kind of confused by the question. Do you think an unverified commenter on a public website saying "all the stores in my town [not named] do X [but I didn't count]" is a type of hard evidence that I'm arbitrarily rejecting?
- zahlman 2y agoNo; I think that there's no feasible way that anyone could have hard evidence one way or another for the underlying question, and that you should therefore take anecdotes more seriously.
