I suspect that most pilots' experience of CAT is so infrequent as to make it difficult for an individual to detect a trend, presumably why the research didn't use anecdotal evidemce but aggregated data from many thousands of flights.

Except that the data and modelling shows that to be an incorrect assumption, which is rather the point:
