That's not true. The conclusions you derive from the data can be totally wrong because of how weak the data is, but now you have a false confidence in it.

First, that's at least as much of a danger with basing conclusions on abstract speculation without evidence, and second, that's not a matter of which is stronger, it's a matter of treating either as stronger support than it is.
