    That said, if you wanted another acceptable alternative, you can also remove all outliers and likely return the curve back to normal.

    I’m not sure I would call that “acceptable.” I would be more likely to call it “destroying the interesting features of the data.”

      Acceptable in the statistical sense. Normality is required by a lot of statistical tests, so it’s done a lot. There are better ways to do it without losing important insights though, hence what I said later in that paragraph.
