In order to do that, even with a general case, you'll need to have/present more information than just anecdotal accounts, to show that in general what you said is the case. I think defining stuff such as bounds and what you meant by "in general" quantitatively would be a good start. Not to say that what you said isn't true in general, unlike my response to your earlier statement, just that you need way more data to establish it in a scientific way IMO.
