There is also one from Patrick that I do not understand:

...

L286: "refine the sample of candidates for analysis" is jargon. "to reduce the same size used in the analysis"

well, I just don't like the way it's said. What they do is remove some obvious backgrounds. I am not sue how to phrase it, but I don't like "for analysis". We could also leave it to the EB.

Thanks for clarifying!
