[quote=Anonymous]The research vs. anecdote thing, as 20:30 pointed out, doesn't characterize what's going on. My take is that, to the extent that there's a debate over what counts as evidence, the debate is between people who understand how research works (controversy, paradigm shifts, limited claims, cross-disciplinary fertilization) and people (a person?) who think(s) that the existence of a study (that was funded by a grant and involved 3 universities!) establishes something (once and for all) as truth. Or maybe it becomes truth when some website declares a different POV "Myth".... At any rate. This hasn't been a research vs. anecdote debate. It's been a what kind of research do you look at and think is relevant and persuasive. The answer to those questions may involve explicit reference to personal experience. But that's not being biased so much as being honest (or maybe candid) and self-aware. Subjectivity always influences perspective. [/quote]
