If I say "don't open the door, there is a dangerous thing behind it, I saw it". Will you open the door or trust anecdotal evidence ?

The thing is, we need balance between facebook mum faith and requesting studies, numbers and white papers for every single little opinion.

I noticed fewer bugs on my windshield and called it _highly subjective_ statistics, already implying it proves nothing.

By coincidence I drive the same car as my mother did back then. And the same route. I will call it a standardized test then and wait for further peer review.
