What about reason, logic, and knowledge that comes from science? For instance action is faster than reaction; therefore, bad guys have advantage if they know they're going to initiate gunfights.
Not going to follow you down a rabbit hole, Raisuli.
The only additional thing I'm going to say about anecdotal evidence is this: if the reason you know something is because someone told you about it, or you read about it, you've based your knowledge on anecdotal evidence.
