    1. Anecdotes are starting points, not stopping points.
      • “The story is typically making a claim and they are presenting it as evidence.”
      • Anecdotes are hiding places for claims
        • “These are statements but if you’ve been to enough panel events you’ll hear a witty story wrapped around it.”
        • Claims aren’t conclusions until they’re tested.
          • “We don’t just accept that. We test it. We gather evidence to support or contradict it.”
