It’s not anecdotal fallacy if the study you linked to shows that Amsterdam -> Brussels would be a train between the 2nd and 3rd less delayed countries at 93-88% of trains on time.
And I don’t see Spain in that list which is the other country mentioned.
Germany is known to have a shit train system, which brings the European average down by a lot. That doesn’t mean that your European train will be delayed. If you don’t touch a German (and apparently, italian) train, your experience will be way better than the average.
Since we are going by our experience, I’ll tell you that I recently took a train from Stockholm to Copenhagen and it was nearly 30min late. Not only that but the conductor was short on time for stops and left several passengers stranded due to station overrun. I was one of them.
I don’t understand wanting to try to convince people that the trains are without fault and completely reliable. Not only is it untrue, it’s also a dangerous precedent to set. We should expect them to be on time more often. It’s a service that is paid for and the train lines don’t always hold up their end of the deal.

We are not going by our experience. I explicitly used the numbers that appear in the link you provided.
