There is value in statistics, because it tells you about the ways the world works in general, the tendencies and relevant trends. There is value in casuistics, because it tells you about the diversity, the different and even rare phenomena that would be filtered out by statistics, but it's good to know they exist.

The article is a statistic. What's been uttered here is just a bunch of anecdotes.
