     "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.

I like it.

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

Quantification: Anecdotes != data

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