It doesn't imply that. What term would you use to refer to the narrowing of a hypothesis space upon acquisition of new evidence?

In a non-Bayesian context, I would call it “updating/retraining my model.”
In a formal Bayesian context, I’d call it “updating my posterior by adding data to the likelihood.”

That could describe both the narrowing or broadening of one's hypothesis space.
