      If you say that someone thinks / says something, without any evidence, and I bring evidence of the contrary, I think this is far from being anecdotal.

        We aren’t talking about a person, we’re talking about a community.

        If one person in a community condemns Putin while the rest of the community peddles his talking points, that person is the exception. Their contributions prove nothing about the community.

        This kind of evidence only works in the aggregate.

          Oh no I was using a person as a metaphor. Just replace person with community.
