(of an account) not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research.
Here is the definition of analogous https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/analogous
Comparable in certain respects, typically in a way which makes clearer the nature of the things compared
Given the context in which you used it - notably accusing poster of not citing a study, but rather sharing a personal experience - Do you still maintain that "Analogous" was the more appropriate word? If so, can you speak for the other poster and let us know what comparative you think he was using?
To make things right with the TS world, let's just say
a) poster should not have stated "lots of studies" as you judiciously pointed out, and should maybe have stated "I've seen many examples and hears lots of stories of ...."
b) You are happy demanding others meet standards that you are unable to maintain yourself.
Have a nice day you pseudo intellectual. I'm going back to the couch and scratch my Taint
