It's completely plausible the author's experience is a valid projection of the people they were surrounded by and also valid.

  "anecdote" is the word you are looking for - which means based only on personal stories and not systematic research.

    I know the word, thanks I think?
    • orangelimesoda 2mo ago
      Apparently not

    Yes, and 99.9% of human discourse is anecdotal - as is the article this thread is based upon. "Anecdotal" is not synonomous with "incorrect".

      And 0% of human systematic research considers "anecdotal" of any value at all lol. What is your overall point? That personal experiences you had are more important than rigorous scientific research? Lol
