For one thing, whether a hole or other cavity in bone is a true lesion or not is generally something that is obvious from the start, rather than something that remains to be resolved once one has got to the differential diagnosis stage. Second, identifying true lesions from taphonomic damage is something that is carried out on a lesion-by-lesion basis, whereas differential diagnosis is something that considers the relevant skeletal changes as a whole.
