Actively search for conditions under which your schema would fail and test those conditions specifically, rather than testing only where success is likely.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounds to Systematic Overconfidence Taxonomy (systematic overconfidence), Automatic Narrative Generation Precedes Conscious Evaluation (automatic causal narratives before evaluation), and Belief Perseverance Against Contradictory Evidence (systems maintain existing beliefs). The principle prescribes active disconfirmation-seeking to counter overconfidence and the belief-maintenance default. This operationalizes Popper's falsificationism at the personal epistemology level.
