You'll realise yourself that this is not necesarily true as you get more expierience.

Working on the outside, sometimes you need that uppercut in order to stop and opponent hunching his way in.
When you guys are talking, your stating 'from the outside' as being (from at a greater distance than at nose to nose fighting).

I read it that way.
No wonder some of my posts are confusing for some if i dont explain what Im thinking in detail:

I often use that same term trying to describe the difference between fighting from or launching a strike from in between someones arms (on the inside) and then from the "outside" as in outside of their guard or over the top of one of their arms.

Is there a correct boxing term to use for this difference?
