The Gaza Coin model implements a key feature of Differential Diagnosis thinking:

"We decide what further information would be useful to distinguish among these diseases, and we ask more questions, do a more-detailed physical examination and order lab tests accordingly."

The coin is analogous to a lab test in medicine - its result gives you information that helps clarify the understanding of reality.
