Content: This is because most people will be telling the truth, and there personal experiences can be of great value. It makes it possible to learn from the mistakes of other humans and so avoid pain and wasted time. It is also more natural for people to think anecdotally than it is to think scientifically. There are also problems with anecdotal evidence including: * Humans are hard wired to find connections between things even when these connections are not there. * The way that people interpret the things that happen to them will be highly influenced by their personal biases. This means that the same event could happen to two different people and they might each interpret it differently. * People have hidden agendas and they can interpret their evidence to support these hidden agendas. * People tend to cherry pick the information and experiences that best fit in with what they already believe. * The human senses can be easily fooled.
