Comment on Outliers

sometimes it is important to show the outlier.

I believe that the US census removes billionaires from their calculations on wage and household income.

Because that would make the mean look towards the outlier. And that might spark some public debate about billionaires and the effect billionaires have on society.

but for some reason they prefer to just remove the outliers from their data to suit their statistics just like science.
