So, statistics sometimes don't have any more value than anecdotes. However, statisticians don't want the rest of us to figure this out.

Getting a bit off-topic here, but statistics are always going to be of more value than anecdotal info for determining what is likely to occur. The problem is that so few people really understand how to use stats, so it is easy to misuse them. If more would take the time to learn and understand there would be less distortion. My $.02.
