So you'd trust an anecdote over real data and studies?

The lack of empathy inherent in "I haven't personally experienced ______ so it doesn't exist" is deeply upsetting, really.

Well the article implies the author learned all this stuff through experience. It isn't titled "Things I read about in reports about the IT industry"

Also I said I have not heard of ONE case of this happening outside of "studies". Even one.

So again: if it didn't happen to you personally, it doesn't happen to anyone. Makes sense.
