<div>Hello all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wonder if anyone has read any sources that explicitly discuss the difference or relation between (in theory and/or in practice) between 'diagnostics', which are used to link up theoretical models with new data, and 'discovery procedures', which are disparaged,
but seem to be, in some ways, ancestors of the former notion.</div>

<div>Attached are some relevant citations if you've never heard of the notion 'discovery procedure'.<br>
