Lots of conclusions can be drawn from anecdotal evidence but a proven
aspect of troubleshooting is to rely only on factual evidence. The
conclusions drawn from factual evidence may be be incorrect but at least
there is a verifiable, repeatable framework to return to. Anecdotal
evidence has a habit of morphing over time, which, amongst other things,
makes it useless for figuring out anything.
