That's surprising. How do you trivially detect bad data? (Beyond extreme examples like below minimum wage)

Even when you know the true distribution (in which case why ask for more data) you can only remove outliers. But outliers exist.

There are techniques for when someone enters many numbers but I don't know any for 1 number.

That and a hundred other data points help create a ML model that reliability identifies illegitimate activity.
