You might have a point if the OP was the only one claiming this.

He isn't, and you don't.

Statement A: OP was the only one claiming this.

Statement B: you have a point

According to you, A => B.

However, you claiming (-A) does not necessarily mean -A => -B.

He isn't. Not by many millions. "Anecdotal evidence" refers to one (or at least only a small number) of people claiming something.

Then OP, or you, should cite the study that shows this isn't anecdotal evidence. It does not fall to me to back up other people's points.
