How do you explain the limited value of anecdotal evidence?

Let me tell you a story about anecdotal evidence.  I had this friend who always supported his arguments with anecdotal evidence, and one day I took him to task for it, by presenting him with statistical data that completely demolished his hunches.  :^)

I believe this methodological approach compares data from observation of natural phenomena, rather than controlled experiments, to make a credible claim. It may not be feasible, legal, or ethical to do certain experiments, so you basically have to look at what's happening in nature to infer conclusions. Maybe try looking up 'natural experiment' or 'comparative method?'

See if you can find the story on antistudy.com.  The results may not be "Cliff" notes, but should work anyway.

It is either a form of material, or it means to find out people's opinions, or to present evidence. See the link below... it should help!

Prove the case because it defends on the evidence presented and not on the experience of others.

Hard to give advice when you don't say what the basis for the case is.  How does she know it was an equal opportunities issue?\n\nIf she doesn't have the evidence, it will end up costing her a lot.

"Eyewitness testimony can be characterized as being highly faulty, as demonstrated through theoretical and experimental knowledge as well as through real life examples, and as this is the case, it should not be the only evidence upon which convictions are based."\n\n"Witness testimony is often presumed to be better than circumstantial evidence. Studies have shown that individual, separate witness testimony is often flawed and parts of it can be meaningless. This can occur because of a person's faulty observation and recollection, because of a person's bias, or because the witness is lying. If several witnesses witness of an event, it is probative to look for similarities in their collective descriptions to substantiate the facts of an event, keeping in mind the contrasts of individual descriptions."

What evidence might that be?

It depends on what kind of deception. If it's a lie or omission, I suppose I could understand if the explanation was good enough, depending of course on the severity of the action. If it's a betrayal of trust, well, I have not yet learned to get over something like that and I'm starting to think it's not possible.

Anecdotal evidence is an informal account of evidence in the form of an anecdote. \n\nAn anecdote is a brief tale narrating an interesting or amusing biographical incident. An anecdote is always based on real life, an incident involving actual persons, whether famous or not, in real places.

No One Knows. Plenty of people can choose theories they agree with, and can provide evidence of them,(in some cases), But no one has any irrefutable proof. You'll have to decide on your own.

Broadly, it means that the hypothesis was not sufficiently proven (or disproven). This could be because of flawed experimental design, weak or improper statistics, or incorrect interpretation of results.

Best way I can think of is this:\n\nRepresenting something to be factual when it is not in order to gain something by doing so.\n\nOr simply, obtaining something under false pretense.

From the source link:\n\n============================================================\nArgumentative Thesis Statements\nIn an argumentative paper, you are making a claim about a topic and justifying this claim with reasons and evidence. This claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. However, this claim must be a statement that people could possibly disagree with, because the goal of your paper is to convince your audience that your claim is true based on your presentation of your reasons and evidence. An argumentative thesis statement will tell your audience:\n\nyour claim or assertion \nthe reasons/evidence that support this claim \nthe order in which you will be presenting your reasons and evidence \nExample: Barn owls' nests should not be eliminated from barns because barn owls help farmers by eliminating insect and rodent pests. \n\nA reader who encountered this thesis would expect to be presented with an argument and evidence that farmers should not get rid of barn owls when they find them nesting in their barns. \n\nQuestions to ask yourself when writing an argumentative thesis statement:\n\nWhat is my claim or assertion? \nWhat are the reasons I have to support my claim or assertion? \nIn what order should I present my reasons? \n============================================================\n\nIn short, take a stand on an issue, then support your stance.
