Wow. I just realized now that IQ isn't normally distributed... because I looked at the SD of male height, which is 4, but the tallest man ever was 107.1in. Without the phenomenon of gigantism, a person like that is 1 in 10 quintillion, so height isn't normally distributed either. Wtf is with these bogus standard deviations... Also "outlier", then, is synonymous with "non-normal distribution". There couldn't be outliers in a normal distribution with enough data points, and human height has more than enough.
