    There is value in statistics, because it tells you about the ways the world works in general, the tendencies and relevant trends. There is value in casuistics, because it tells you about the diversity, the different and even rare phenomena that would be filtered out by statistics, but it’s good to know they exist.

        Yes, that’s what I’m talking about. I value the article for it’s universal statistical results. I also appreciate the individual anecdotal experiences posted in the discussion. I understand the difference and meaning of statistics and anecdotal data, so I can enjoy both without being confused about it.
