Are you saying it’s a bad argument, and contradicts previous research because your personal experience differs? That sounds like anecdata, not argument.

There were two arguments made by parent. One was a variation on the silliness of "my data shows that my data is good".

The other was personal anecdata explaining that it doesn't have to be a political agenda driving the bad data.
