I cured my X by doing Y.

Is that an anecdote or a data point? What if 150 people tell you the same thing? Having done exactly that, I don't really care how anyone else classifies it, it is my reality.

It's an anecdote. It doesn't matter if you hear it 150 times, obviously. If you hear 150 people tell you that vaccines gave their child autism, is that your reality?
