Design experiments to produce intelligent failures—small, fast, deliberate tests at the frontier of knowledge where negative results generate information unavailable through other means.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Learning occurs when outcomes differ from predictions… (learning from prediction error) and Every moment spent exploring is a moment not spent… (explore-exploit tradeoff). The principle follows: given that learning requires prediction error and exploration has opportunity cost, design bounded failures that maximize learning per unit cost. This is experimental design strategy.
