Anecdotal Evidence

Anecdotal Evidence is related to studies can be made to say anything you want. Companies LOVE anecdotal evidence because it lets them say anything they want. It doesn't matter that genetic variances means some things work to some people and not for others. The Crows using cars to crack nuts story was entertaining, but it goes to show that the scientific method must be followed to the letter if something is to be taken seriously.

Kill the Heretic, Burn the Mutant

I have to admit, I loled at the UFO cult story. It's true, people won't speak up if others don't. I've done this, but I've also not done it. I've also been known to only accept evidence that confirms my beliefs, though I've tried to get better at that. Gun control, or the stand against it, is probably the issue I am most versed it, both for and against, and though I as decidedly against Gun Control, I can see some points that advocates try to make.

Pretty words hide the demon.

I hate pretty advertising language. It's so annoying, especially all the "herbal supplement" products that do nothing. They use everything mentioned in the chapter "Tall Coffees and Assault Weapons". There was one product, Thermaflu I believe, that claimed "Cures your cold up to 3 days faster!" At the very bottom of the screen, in tiny text it says "Vs. No treatment". An advertiser's job is to lie while telling the truth.
