In this case, yes, an outlier is warranted to disprove that argument. We got fixated on the AB thing, but someone else (I think saphojunkie) gave an entirely reasonable take that while true that all MAC WRs have a low percentage of hitting in the NFL, the percentage of DRAFTED MAC WRs hitting and sticking around in the NFL is actually pretty high. Not all that many busts among them.
I don't think an outlier can 'disprove' an argument unless said argument is made in absolutes. "MAC receivers that high have never once in NFL history been productive NFL receivers!" can be disproven by citing an outlier.

Citing an outlier to rebut a trend, OTOH, don't work. That's what makes the guy an outlier.
