My New Motto

     "I can't keep you from being stupid, but I will help make it hurt."

     Also, "anecdote" and "data" are not the same thing.   They're not even close.

    Simple and elegant.

    I like it.

    And I've heard it expressed as "The plural of anecdote is not data."

    old saw...

    information: fiction <----> truth
    Quantification: Anecdotes != data

    Yes making fictions and wild speculation without support
    are describes with a smaller word, lies.
