The evidence is materially better than ordinary anecdote because the fact of the experiment was published before results were available. And it's a demonstration of reasonable possibility, not high probability. It's n=5, but that's materially better than nothing. In fact, taking some reasonable low probability of the human failure rate, such as 1%, the p-value is quite low as well, so it's a statistically significant result.
