Outlier
In statistics, an outlier is an factor that is significantly distant from the rest of the data.
Some people can seem that way.
And it's those outlier folks who are often the ones the rest us find the most fascinating.
One of KIW's vast worldwide staff couldn't sleep and . . . lucky for us . . . ran into a Mr. Malcolm Gladwell holding forth on one of those obscure late-night channels.
Mr. Gladwell has got some great thoughts, and he really seems to be having a blast just thinking them.
We heartily recommend him . . .
