If the point of your original comment was to say that this contradicts Ericsson's work, I suggest you rewrite it.

There are lots of reasons to be skeptical of this claim, but calling it an "anecdote" evokes all the wrong ones. Frankly, I can only describe this usage as deceit. I blame the hierarchy of evidence.

Furthermore, if that was the point he should retract it in shame.
