In a world based on talent search, you as a talent can get incontrovertible evidence of what works and what doesn't, by looking at who gets picked. But in a world of talent development, you get that evidence filtered through the mind of the person trying to "develop" you. And speaking as someone who was on the receiving end of attempted "talent development" from someone not very good, I freakin wish they'd gone with talent search. It'd have been more honest and saved everyone a lot of time.
