So, in some sense we are back to "eliminating outliers"... using an ad-hoc definition of "outlier".

Does not look very scientific to me.

Exactly! I think that was part of the problem for many of the examples that turn out to not-really-work. People pretend they let the work do by an algorithm, but then hand-pick from a list of somewhat close candidates. Which of course happens with a hypothesis (and thereby desired outcome) in mind.
