Actually, I don't think so.

Consider: A trend is calculated from the full universe of points. It is, idealistically, a best-fit to the data. If one can pick any subset of the data, one can clearly select (in the general case) a subset of out-layers that will indicate a completely different trend.

Your scenario would only be true in the case of perfect data. I don't think one can (or should) properly call a perfect data fits a trend.

Or am I mistaken?
