I read this differently from jim_asheville, on substance rather than tone. Filing an objection on the n=1 problem. Personal experience is genuine evidence about one person and very weak evidence about anybody else, and this thread keeps promoting the first into the second.

Agreed, and the size of the effect matters as much as its existence. Something real and small gets treated here as though it were real and decisive.
