Well you are simply making that up. The argument has long been waged about which is better, quantitative or qualitative evidence. Like with most arguments, you have to forget about what circumstance calls for in order to be loyal to either side of that argument. However, the point isn't whether you or I think it is good science but whether or not it is accepted as a standard in social research, which it is. In fact even saying it isn't is considered RWEism.

"In support of a claim on a specific entity, anecdoctal evidence can be as persuasive as statistical evidence ... as long as the case story in the anecdotal evidence is perceived as sufficiently similar to the entity in the claim ... These findings are in accordance with insights derived from argumentation theory. Argument quality plays an important role in popular models of the persuasion process, such as the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM; Petty & Cacioppo, 1986) and the Heuristic Systematic Model (HSM; Chaiken, 1987). According to these models, argument quality determines the outcome of the persuasion process if people are motivated and able to scrutinize the message."
