Personal experience vs scientific objectivity:
- "It doesn't mean that one's personal experiences constitute a sufficient sample to derive a conclusion abouty an idea; it is just that one's personal experience gives the stamp of authenticity and sincerity of opinion.
- Experience is devoid of the cherry-picking that we find in studies, particularly those called "observational" ones in which the researcher finds past patterns, and, thanks to the sheer amount of data, can therefore fall into the trap of an invented narrative"
