"Yeahbut" - NTP is particularly aggressive about marking servers as outliers, especially when it has a large number of servers to choose from. It can afford to be picky. It's usually not worth getting worked up about an outlier or two as being a bad server. In most (but not all!) cases transient outliers are the result of variable network latency.
