    @liming,
    to quickly explain it: Macros are by default Strings. This means:
    id < %{outlier} 
    is a comparison between a string and an integer, which does not work.
    Evaluate allows you to interpret the string. In your case, it gets parsed and thus works. Interestingly you can also do things like
    id < eval("sqrt("+%{outlier}+")")
    which makes eval super strong.

    Best,
