   If you don't think that outliers are not important in Science, try   
   looking at this:   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity#Perihe   
   ion_precession_of_Mercury   
      
   Or, this:   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyby_anomaly   
      
   LOTS of other examples can be provided!!   
      
   No one (and, I mean NO ONE) in science thinks that outliers are not   
   important!!  It's just abjectly absurd to suggest otherwise.
