A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
Why is our memory good enough to recall to the last detail things that have happened to us, yet not good enough to recall how often we have told them to the same person?
[Pourquoi faut-il que nous ayons assez de mémoire pour retenir jusqu’aux moindres particularités de ce qui nous est arrivé, et que nous n’en ayons pas assez pour nous souvenir combien de fois nous les avons contées à une même personne?]François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶313 (1665-1678) [tr. Kronenberger (1959)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/la-rochefoucauld-fra…

When I first heard "the plural of #anecdote is not #data," I thought it was very clever, and repeated it endlessly. So did, and do, a bunch of other people.
The original form of that saying was "the plural of anecdote is data." It was meant to urge researchers not to dismiss rare or unexpected results as #outliers. Both "the plural of anecdote is data" and "the plural of anecdote is not data" can be true, depending on context.
Like other #science aphorisms which have entered popular culture, particularly those containing the phrase "is not," this is a constant annoyance. I know my complaints won't make them go away. But I hope I can at least get people thinking about them, rather than parroting them and feeling smug.
Just something that came up tangentially today. Now, back to sorting out the anecdotes. Cells are wordy little bastards.
