I see the wink, so I'm going to assume you don't really require "Personal" to be stated verbose, and in fact you realize this is implicit when people state said opinions.
true, I don't, but since we were talking about anecdotal evidence, and that can include the experiences of others, I felt it warranted to specify explicitly. I kind of love the turn this has taken. it's fun.
Breaks up the same repetitive opinions if nothing else...
Anecdotal Evidence, when stated in a subject, is unequivocally a "personal" observation. The gathering of such evidence however can include everything under the sun, or can be speculation disguised as conclusion. The weight of the statement relies entirely on the way its presented, the reputation of the speaker, and the readers' opinion on the matter.
