We call it being realistic.
The loop that lists every reason something won't work.
Feels like rigour.
It's mostly just expensive.
Every solution you've ever found arrived while you still believed in the opening.
Not after the exits were already closed.
Possibility isn't magical thinking.
It's the only cognitive posture where answers can actually show up.
Doubt takes up the same brain space.
It just does nothing useful with it.
