The premise presented reminds me of the scientific method, in that findings should undergo review and verification. However, in the absence of peer review (say, due to time constraints), one must attempt to review their own conclusions for weaknesses or alternative findings. Through the exercise of necessitating two plans of action, after identifying one plan of action first, it forces the individual or team into creative considerations of alternatives. It's almost like a stress test, although that terminology is a bit too on-the-nose given the anxiety title of the VOD; I think risk / opportunity management would be appropriate instead.
Fletcher is also the author of several excellent books.
