"Do I have to report all data and how should I deal with outliers if there are too many?" —answer to Academia StackExchange

I strongly believe in the validity of my hypothesis (which every experimentalist does I guess), but I can't find an explanation for the outliers, or the possible explanations are too many. Can I still publish with five good data points? How should I deal with the other five? I assume it's unethical to not report them, right?

Theyve edited the post, looks like they had a pretty reasonable question but wrote it badly.

  1. Post was edited three years ago. The answer I link to also responds to the update.
  2. Though it's no longer insane, I don't think the question was made reasonable by the update.
