To me this makes little sense, an outer join is LESS LIKELY to make rows disappear from a recordset as it is less restrictive. For example if I inner join from say a fact table to a dimension table, should the dimension table not contain all values which are in the fact table, then not all rows which are in the fact table will be returned, whereas using a left join from the fact table will ensure that all results are returned!

[...] Rows can logically disappear from an indexed view based on OUTER JOIN when you insert data into a base table. This makes incrementally updating OUTER JOIN views relatively complex to implement, and the performance of the implementation would be slower than for views based on standard (INNER) JOIN.(Read More Here) [...]

One the situion is like this.
When we have two tables, one for list of employee and the second one the list of retired employee.

then the rows from following query disppear when we add record in retired table

select e.id ,e.name
from dbo.employee e
left join RetiredEmployee j on e.id=j.id
where j.id is null
