So where in all this is your evaluation of the evidence she collected?
Anecdotal evidence. Commonality assumed, not proven.
The body of evidence itself does not suffer much beyond the natural problems with anecdotal evidence. What suffers is her consideration only of an unestablished explanation for the observed effect (space alien abduction and visitation) and her considerable development of that explanation along purely speculative grounds.
This suggests that that the conclusion was arrived at first, and the evidence simply backfilled against it. I find no indication whatsoever that she was led to the space-alien hypothesis by evidence, especially since she admits there is no prima facie evidence for that hypothesis.
I find all your other arguments irrelevent rhetoric.
Evasion noted. I have asked you several direct questions, including reconciliation of on-topic claims with the evidence I presented. Your continued participation here is contingent upon you answering them.
