> (often misquoted) phrase

You misquoted it there! It should be: The plural of anecdote is data.

Thank you! Another instance of a variant of Muphry's Law.

It's actually "the plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'".

Apparently what you've said is the most common misquotation. See [3] above.

Oh interesting, thanks! I much prefer that formulation.
