"The human mind has no more power of inventing a new value than of planting a new sun in the sky or a new primary color in the spectrum."

A poison can hardly be called safe if for some reason specific to me it's ineffective against, say, my body. But the power of story on the human mind is such that anecdote is often more persuasive than numbers. That's why news stories often concretize the impact of a change in government policy by following the story of one person.
