I’d be surprised if you have running water and electricity at this point.

So are you suggesting that we completely ignore our personal experience?

Of course not. Just saying that anecdotal experiences are not a substitute for conclusions drawn or opinions formed after legitimate scientific study.

I am not suggesting that at all.  I merely suggest that, whether the cliche is true or not, people often have a hard time believing what they do not personally see.  Data is great, science is wonderful, but after a while, if you are not personally effected by something the the data and science claims is dangerous, that data and science simply becomes numbers on a piece of paper.  It begins to lack meaning.

Sad, but true.
