The expression anecdotal evidence refers to evidence from anecdotes. Because of the small sample, there is a larger chance that it may be true but unreliable due to cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative samples of typical cases

I think the folks who shoot “The Deadliest Catch” and “Dirty Jobs” might disagree. 🙂

I really don’t think your assumption from a “cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative sample” means “there is a larger chance that it may be true’

“I’m talking the quality not the quantity of footage. It was the question “who would want to watch it” that I was refering too.

[Christian Schumacher] “I reckon the techniques forum is a lot newer than this one, but I still count that as an anecdotal evidence that FCPX is not only in its infancy, but pretty much raising uncertainty regarding its future.
“Interesting. I draw a direct relationship to people enjoying controversy more than technical talk.

I’m with you on the “who would want to watch question.” the answer is assuredly not me.
However I know several editors who work on reality shows and it actually takes a fair amount of skill to make anything at all out of the huge pile of dreck they are given to work with and the absurd deadlines they are under.
As someone once said of a project I worked on “they’re trying to make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t.”

[Bret Williams] “I’ve pretty much written much of what’s in your blog 5 times and not hit the post button. In fact, I’ve written too many posts that I’ve never posted. I write alot to just to figure what I’m thinking. Then never post, email, or publish (ha!).”
The sign of a thoughtful man. I also work through creative things by talking aloud a lot too.
My wife would probably like you better.[Bret Williams] “Someday I’ll actually write out a decent rant on how where X is going is great, and how where it is is good, and how connected clips and seondary storylines suck and are a necessary construct to make magnetism work, which is an unnecessary fix to a problem that doesn’t exist in the first place.”
I wish you would Bret, we’d have a lot in common to share.

“Yes, and thank you for the finer point to mine.
That’s a perfect way of describing talented editors forced to make virtual idiots saying phony idiotic things, look entertaining.
