I too would like to weigh in as an expert about something. Do I have to do any book-learnin' about it, or just say, I lived in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and am therefore an expert on those decades. Do I become the arbiter of debates? No. Rigor can be gentle, but if rigor is absent we should not conclude the authority of anecdote makes science.
Thanks for sharing your many stories with me.
