Personal Observation
N=1 reports: useful signal, not evidence
Personal reports are welcome here — they can surface questions worth studying. A few norms to keep them useful and compliant:
- Share observations and context, not protocols. No doses, no sources/vendors.
- Note the obvious confounders (everything else changing at once, expectation effects, time).
- Frame it as anecdote, not proof.
One person's experience is a data point of one. It can generate a hypothesis; it can't confirm one.
If a pattern keeps showing up across many reports, that's a great prompt to go check the actual literature.
