anecdotal evidence



As I have used this term, anecdotal evidence could be considered to be evidence that was not obtained in formal, rigorous scientific method or statistical investigations. Strictly speaking, it means evidence that comes from the stories told by others - something the West’s written culture is suspicious of, but something that other cultures with a tradition of oral transmission of knowledge view more favourably.
