How did you come up with this figure of 95% if you have a sample size of 1?

He qualified the statement by saying "from his perspective" which could be taken to mean "95% percent useless in his life" with a sample size of 1.

:) I did say "in my experience"! I also called the story out as an anecdote, not anything statistically useful. The 95% figure is an estimate based on lots of people I know, not just the one story.
