[quote=markmax33]SK in CV,
The grandparents and parents anology is far from anecedotal. It has happened to EVERY SINGLE family in the country. You seem to really not understand the term annecdotal?[/quote]

Anecdotal Evidence:

Definition:

non-scientific observations or studies, which do not provide proof but may assist research efforts.

Every single family? Really? Not a single one escaped?

(And I’m quite sure that wasn’t an analogy. A nice example, yes. But not an analogy.

analogy
noun, plural -gies.
1. a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump. )
