Yeah, I don't buy it either. But the trend is encouraging.

Actually, in policy analysis and social science research, you usually eliminate outliers because it's an easy way to nudge your p-values toward significance.

Yeah, the idea that outliers should just be swept under the rug is one of the many misconceptions that surround popular statistics.

Less data is never (ok, very rarely) better than more data.
