Anyone who reads <i>any</i> kind of &quot;personal experience article&quot; and takes it as anything but anecdotal is fooling themselves.<p>It doesn&#x27;t matter if the article is for or against a particular opinion, or if it takes a measured tone down some middle road. A single experience does the opposite of expose institutional problems: it makes it <i>appear</i> like there may or may not be one, while providing no scientific basis from which to draw a broader conclusion.
