I agree that it is at least hypothetically possible that the offering of an anecdote should reduce our credence in what the anecdote claims.
... For example, if you told me that you once met a powerful demon who works to stop anyone from ever telling anecdotes about him (regardless of whether the anecdotes are true or false), then I would decrease my credence in the existence of such a demon.
