I was merely asking you a question, notice the question marks? Notice there was no presupposition or statement made, only inquired about. No argument here.
To most people who know what an argumentum ad verecundiam is--and to those who know the difference between funders and research.
Even Wikipedia disagrees with you. It may not be STRONG evidence and is easily subject to fallacy, but it's considered evidence none the less.

Anecdotal evidence is
evidence from
anecdotes. Where only one or a few anecdotes are presented, there is a larger chance that they may be unreliable due to
cherry-picked or otherwise
non-representative samples of typical cases.
[1][2] Anecdotal evidence is considered dubious support of a generalized claim; it is, however, within the scope of scientific method for claims regarding particular instances, for example the use of
case studies in medicine.
The term is often used in contrast to
scientific evidence, such as
evidence-based medicine, which are types of formal accounts.[
citation needed] Some anecdotal evidence does not qualify as scientific evidence because its nature prevents it from being investigated using the
scientific method. Misuse of anecdotal evidence is an
informal fallacy and is sometimes referred to as the "person who" fallacy ("I know a person who..."; "I know of a case where..." etc. Compare with
hasty generalization). Anecdotal evidence is not necessarily representative of a "typical" experience; in fact, human
cognitive biases such as
confirmation bias mean that exceptional or confirmatory anecdotes are much more likely to be remembered. Accurate determination of whether an anecdote is "typical" requires
statistical evidence.
