Just ... (a) method, results, and claims need to be aligned, and (b) results be consistent with the claims, and (c) results need to be practically meaningful in the domain, which... isn't always the case, though it's what's needed for (true) progress!

Yes, I agree with the things you wrote - obviously we use predictive models as well, we worked extensively on e.g. active learning (the way you wrote above), and that is _very_ good (you sample hypothesis space more efficiently)

Honestly... this is _fantastic_ 😂! 'Today, 23 years after (10 Saturnian months) Professor D.P. realizes that he is married and has two children, but he knows nothing about them. He does not even remember any details of his marriage.
