Ya, I mean I could be wrong. To be honest, my opinion here is uncharacteristically based off of my own personal experience and from anecdotal observations of people in my life.

Opinions are allowed to be based on personal experience and anecdotal observations :) In a lot of situations that's probably all most of us have to work from, unless you've somehow managed to research and memorize scientifically sound data on every possible aspect of life... I think the important distinction is in knowing that your opinion is based on potentially flimsy data paired with the ability to re-examine your opinion when presented with more robust information.

You're aloud to base your responses on your own experiences from time to time and not solely on compiled scientific data :)

I am? I feel a little uncomfortable making a claim without having a statistically significant p value to support it!

You have a focus of 1. That counts.
