It's similar to the idea that robust reasoning is an interwoven combination of in-, ab-, and de-duction. What I find disheartening is a kind of "moralism", for lack of a better term. People tend to invest too much faith in what they know, what's succeeded in the past, whatever the cool kids are doing these days, etc. And what I think Bloom shows nicely is the required kind of *agnosticism*, especially to where clues may lie, what methods may lead to good product, etc.

The above is a good description of what I think I believe also.
