I mean with the way the data is presented it definitely is agreeable that the rise in complaints is directly tied to the quality/performance of the flight industry.

But, on principle alone I refuse to openly accept correlation as a causation for two data sets, and always leave room for expansion and more dots to connect. Without that in play, it's easy to convince anyone that all spurious correlations have a cause/effect relationship.

I thought it was funny and I stand firmly by that.

Oh...to be honest I think I read the prompt backwards. As a rule of thumb, anecdotes should always be taken with a grain of salt when presented with contradictory empirical evidence.

Empirical VS anecdotal evidence.
