> A single event doesn't certainly demonstrate anything.

It demonstrates what is possible, not probable, and as long as we keep that in mind, there is nothing wrong with it. My life is string of single events, and I will refuse to believe it "doesn't demonstrate anything."



Certainly, but there is a misunderstanding here.

I don't doubt that any event is meaningful.

What I'm saying is that, in a certain context, a single event that highlights that "corporations have relatively little power", doesn't disprove many events highlighting that "corporations have plenty/excess of power".
