A public policy commentator claims that citizen assemblies are most persuasive when they emphasize lived experience over technical expertise. The author cites a televised assembly where participants' personal stories were widely quoted in news coverage, while the panel's statistical appendix was rarely mentioned. The author also points to a local referendum campaign in which organizers highlighted assembly members' narratives in advertisements and later reported strong volunteer engagement. Finally, the author notes that in an online forum discussing another assembly, posts reacting to "human stories" received more replies than posts linking to policy briefs. The author concedes that technical expertise may still be necessary for drafting recommendations but maintains that persuasion depends more on narrative.
Which option best describes the strength of the author's evidence?
