It's completely plausible the author's experience is a valid projection of the people they were surrounded by and also valid.
"anecdote" is the word you are looking for - which means based only on personal stories and not systematic research.
Yes, and 99.9% of human discourse is anecdotal - as is the article this thread is based upon.
"Anecdotal" is not synonomous with "incorrect".
And 0% of human systematic research considers "anecdotal" of any value at all lol. What is your overall point? That personal experiences you had are more important than rigorous scientific research? Lol
I know the word, thanks I think?
Apparently not
