Measurements. Just because a particular result lies far from the mean doesn't make it any different. If it's noticeably far from the "crowd" of all the other measurements, it can be called an outlier. An outlier isn't necessarily bad, just different. It should be examined in detail to see if there's something odd about it, but not discarded out of hand.
