Hi koan,

I am glad that you follow science (it's not the science btw, there are always differing views and that is how real science progresses.)

In science as you gather data, an "outlier" can occur. Engineers, for example, are usually very concerned when an outlier pops up.

an "outlier" might be just a reading error, or a deviation to some other variable that is not fully controlled,....

or

It could indicate a whole new branch of knowledge that you are about to uncover when you study the "outlier" further.
You have to keep an open mind. Real Scientists are always interested in the outliers, and study them most carefully to see what they are about.

You use of the word "outlier" in a dismissive way, might sound "scientific talk" to some, but to any real scientist it sounds ridiculous. An outlier requires the most careful evaluation.

Some of the most famous scientists out there obtained their fame by studying an outlier. Einstein among them.

He studied the data that did not fit in the "right" place according to the very best science of the time.

You need to use the word "outlier" with a lot more care. Be aware of what it can mean.

Like someone actually telling the truth for example. A rare event when you have a lot of people who wish to see different.

Take a second look and tell me what you see.




Dont stop looking yet... keep going...
