Post a Comment On: A Nod to Nothing

Thoughtworks pointed me at this enjoyable article by Amy Perfors  refuting a common saying, "The singular of data is not anecdote."  In places, it reads like I imagine Temperance Brennan would read if she weren't a fake forensic scientist based on a real person.

"A better truism would therefore be more like "the plural of anecdote is probably not data", which of course isn't nearly as catchy."
