I should have said "specific" data, perhaps; a three- or five- year old describing the buildings and people in a village to which she had never been, to which her parents had never been, down to details of house colors and the occupations of her "past" family members, which when the adults finally were persuaded to take the trek over the mountains, were found to be exactly as she had described them. A boy describing WW II armaments with familiar precision to which he had not been exposed in any identifiable way in his current identity. These are two that come immediately to mind. Anecdotal, yes. But not unpersuasive except to the pre-concluding mind.
