pulling science note on coconut oil Okay we're done in

00:20

paragraph seven the sentence the evidence we have is anecdotal

00:25

suggests that the evidence is what and hear the potential

00:28

answers likely All right the author makes it pretty clear

00:33

what anecdotal means when she says the evidence we have

00:36

is anecdotal people tell stories about how the practices helped

00:40

them and that's all we have to go on So

00:42

anecdotal evidence is only based on the stories people tell

00:46

right it's like with big foot the loch ness monster

01:22

it's all a lie Sometimes people do actually know what

01:26

they're talking about Go figure option d takes it too

01:29

far as well Anecdotal evidence is not meant to be

01:31

straight up fiction The author says that this type of

01:34

evidence comes from stories but they aren't supposed to be

01:37

completely made up We'll be is the best answer By

01:40

far Anecdotal evidence may not be totally untrue but it

01:44

isn't the solid scientific evidence we prefer Can you blame 00:01:48.028 --> [endTime] us Moshi scientific evidence is a kind of revolting
