Also, anecdotal evidence is garbage.

Anecdotal evidence is what informs the majority of discussions on this website.

When people like Abdiel and Benji offer their insights, it's not anecdotal evidence. Their input into how well each system sells comes from actual sales data from the major retailers they work for. Similar thing applies to Amazon. It pretty much makes up the majority of online sales hence why its monthly and yearly rankings give us a good idea of how well each system is doing. Anecdotal evidence is largely useless unless you have a large sample of anecdotes.
