Re:  Designing an experiment to gather evidence on approaches t
I would say the difference between anecdote and evidence is the degree of 
traceability between the two claims.  With something that is evidence you 
would know, in a reasonably documented way, what was done, when and by who. 
Anecdote has passed through so many messengers, each drawing their own 
conclusions and re-originating the story to emphasis what they want that 
it's essentially mythical.
