Very likely so. Note that anecdotal "evidence" does not count.


"anecdote - a short amusing or interesting story about a real

incident or
person"


Why not? They are still "real incidents."


But they lack in documentation. A scientific experiment or
observation should be documented with enough detail to enable anyone
with the appropriate skills and knowledge to repeat it. And it's not
taken really seriously until it has been independently repeated and
confirmed.


You grew up accepting anecdotal
evidence from your parents and friends. It helped you develop into

the
individual you are today and you still believe many of those and

guide

That's daily life, not a science project.
