I think Christiaan and Simeon's main point is that statistical evidence is more reliable than anecdotal evidence (evidence from stories of a few individuals' experiences), because anecdotal evidence doesn't evenly represent the way different situations are distributed.
Skull and darksign13's point seems to be that the statistical studies didn't take their evidence from the right sources, which should have been more like Skull's neighborhood, homeless shelters, and the things older cops have experienced.
Also Skull is saying something about science being dependent on a human point of view. But wouldn't that also apply to your experience of your neighborhood, Skull?
