One of the first things you do when looking at data is to remove the largest/highest and the lowest values (they are considered outliers), then average out the rest. That eliminates most of the 'skewing' effect that one or two incongruous pieces of data can create (can't remember the proper term for that right now).

So you agree that its the proper way to go about evaluating data and then you disagree in the very next paragraph by saying you also have to remove the worst outcomes. Brilliant.
