If there was a "Manifesto for Empirical Software Development", what might it advocate?

- Data over anecdotes?
- Experiments over debates?
- Skepticism over social proof?
- Hypotheses over opinions?
- Weight of evidence over follower counts?
- Efficacy over "That's how we've always done it"?

@jasongorman data over anecdotes speaks to me more than the others. I feel people don't _get_ the difference between a hypothesis and hunch. Social proof sounds like evidence if you don't have the right context.
