That anecdote is not necessarily true. The combination world be very rare even if blindness offers no protection, and it seems to simply not have been studied enough to be confident those rare individuals have been identified as such and published as case reports.

It’s not an anecdote, it’s the idea that there are no anecdotes.

That is a much more risky idea in the first place, and your link provides quite a few such anecdotes.
