I never said the anecdotal evidence is "wrong" I said its a "false evidence" the conclusion can still be correct. The evidence remains false/not valid if it is anecdotal.

Anecdotal evidence is not false evidence. Evidence based on individual experiences or observations is not "false" but it can be subjective and misleading. It is still used all the time in law.
