You're right it's much better to rely on information that is expected to be meaningless, has zero dimensions, is guaranteed to be biased, has no backing, and is scientifically proven to be unreliable.

Exactly what I expect from HN's crowd.

If your trust for first hand accounts from people you trust is meaningless, I feel sorry for you. And if you aren’t able to intuit their biases based on your history with them and take that into account, more so.

That you seemingly missed the caveat that I mentioned about “hard sciences” also not a good sign.

I do not trust you, no, because we know as a scientific fact that your perceptions are warped. That's why we do science.

Good, I said people you trust, not me. You shouldn't trust me, but I trust me and my friends.

I don’t care about homelessness in an academic sense. I care about the crackheads on my street. Anecdata is fine.
