Inquiring minds want to know.
The rest will just cling to their anecdotes and outliers.
What you dismiss as anecdotes and outliers is proof that the methodology is inaccurate. You can't generate valid statements about general trends from inaccurate information. Just because something matches your personal views doesn't make it accurate.
