Empirical is defined in the oxford dictionary as something based on experience or observation rather than logic. For data to be considered empirical it does not need to be fact. It is often used interchangeably with first hand experience. Therein, one could say that empirical findings are extrapolated anecdotal data, as anecdotal is also defined as being based on personal experience rather than facts.
Theoretical evidence would explicitly oppose empirical evidence because it is based on calculation and cannot be opinionated. It is meant to be concise and eliminate ambiguity which empirical or anecdotal evidence can not.
