In mathematics: deductive reasoning near-certain or certain conclusions are reached when there is a true premise. Outliers are considered but if they are not weighty enough to change the premise, then the conclusion stands.
In Philosophy: deductive reasoning is essence. The outliers are called accidents. If the accidents do not change the essence; then the essence stands.
In Common Sense: there are exceptions to any rule but if the exceptions are infrequent, then the rule stands.
