I'd like to come out with some pithy remark along the lines of “the plural of anecdote is not data”, but this isn’t even a plural. Here’s a logical fallacy: Someone gave the author a piece of advice, the author didn’t listen to it, the author failed, therefore the advice is true. Does anyone see the problem here?
