I have been rereading HPMOR and come up with an elegant hypothesis that I found to be ever more fitting as I continued to read. However, I just realized that I have been looking only for tests that confirm my hypothesis, and not looking for things that would cause my hypothesis to be wrong. This is not the sort of realization that I often have.

Are you aware of anything you’ve done lately that would make you more likely to have this sort of realization?
Yes. Reading HPMoR. Chapter 8 in particular.
