Wise advice, however, it's hard to escape the temptation inside, which makes you overlook the signs that your idea is wrong. Even among 1000 signs in front of you that prove your idea wrong, you keep looking for only one (with a magnifier) that may prove it right...

This is often good advice but not always possible; that’s why new ideas are called “unproven”. In exploratory creativity, the best question is not whether an idea will be proven; it’s whether it’s interesting, useful, provocative, inspiring of other ideas.
