I believe the correct answer is expert testimony. An expert is a person who is qualified by education or experience (or both) on a particular subject, has specific knowledge that is validated and relevant. The expert gives an opinion, but this opinion is supported by facts. It doesn't rely on any kind of subjective estimation, or statistical knowledge, as the case may always be an atypical one.
