New Conversely, all data is anecdotal in nature.
All data originates from observations by humans, whether directly or through instruments.

These humans, consciously or subconsciously, all have personal agendas which affect the data. There are many subtle ways observations can be distorted, deliberately or not, starting with the design of the program, or design of instruments if used.

All data is suspect from the start - until sufficiently confirmed by other humans with different agendas.
