Where only one or a few anecdotes are presented, there is a larger chance that they may be unreliable due to cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative samples of typical cases.^[1]^[2] Similarly, psychologists have found that due to cognitive bias people are more likely to remember notable or unusual examples rather than typical examples.^[3] Thus, even when accurate, anecdotal evidence is not necessarily representative of a typical experience. Accurate determination of whether an anecdote is "typical" requires statistical evidence.^[4] Misuse of anecdotal evidence is an informal fallacy and is sometimes referred to as the "person who" fallacy ("I know a person who..."; "I know of a case where..." etc.) which places undue weight on experiences of close peers which may not be typical. Compare with hasty generalization.

But hey, copies of passports are forbidden in Germany besides our Government says there is no law against it. And companies will NEVER ask for a passport copy besides there is a fucking law that states they are allowed to. But they, that all is VERY VERY unusual and you are in a great danger! Because Ramstein and the Gestapo and other things. Welcome to Lala Land!

As a baby I pissed in a church. I was never in jail for this, thats
why it is legal to shit/piss in churches. Your logic.

So now you're saying it is illegal for babies to have a wee in church,
and they might be jailed for it? :-))) Also, if the difference between
"legal" and "normal" eludes you, you may want to ask an adult.
