Abstract The performance of the outlier rejecting statistician is monitored and compared with those of several robust estimators of location. The comparisons are made by plugging a number of statisticians' location estimates into a Monte Carlo experiment. The result is that the statistician staves off the potential disasters of ordinary least squares, but he can be beaten.
