Data means nothing until you interpret it. You can disagree on the interpretation but if you're going to throw out a data set with no counter argument you're just acting in bad faith.
Anecdotal evidence isn't meaningless but people have to understand it sits below the bottom of the "levels of evidence" pyramid.
I, for one, have only been on these forums a couple months and already saw two instances of a major "this has been parsed to death and we already know the answer" being wrong. So I'll take a sketchy parse over common knowledge any day but if the parse isn't great you have to keep your certainties in check when it comes to your interpretations.

Agreed! And yes, it is sadly not uncommon on these forums to get the "it's been parsed to death but I won't/can't give you said parses" answer. That is why I am glad to see posters like OP provide data so we can look at it.
