Your '6 client wants to know what will happen to gasoline demand if it increases gasoline prices by one cent higher than its nearest competitors. One of the members of your consulting team, Debbie, shares that one time in college she stopped buying gasoline from a service station that was one cent more expensive. Based on this story, should you conclude that demand will fall to zero if the client raises gas prices by one cent? No , since this is an argument by anecdote , which can lead to wrong conclusions Instead of relying on Debbie's college story to make a conclusion, you decide it is smarter to collect and analyze a survey of anecdotes collected on the Internet. a survey of other team members' anecdotes.
