No, it's very different.

When you have multiple allergies/intolerances, starting at zero and then adding one thing at a time is a lot more efficient than removing one thing at a time.

Removing one thing at a time will create many false negatives, where you remove a hit but don't notice because you left another hit behind.

That's not binary search.

Correct. I didn't reply to the binary search post.
