When capturing information that confirms your existing beliefs, deliberately search for and record contradictory evidence before filing the note, creating structural resistance to confirmation bias in your knowledge system.
Why This Is a Principle

It prescribes a specific capture practice that counters the architectural tendency to filter contradictory evidence before it reaches conscious awareness.
