We can't have an article on a term that isn't in wide use. See Wikipedia:NEOLOGISM. I'm going to merge this into Confirmation bias#Explanations. MartinPoulter (talk) 17:36, 13 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

I undid this because first of all, exploratory thought is the absense of confirmation bias, so the terms are opposites. Furthermore, there are several hundred verbatim google scholar and 48,000 google hits on "exploratory thought" so it's not even close to being a neologism, also because the sources and external links make it clear that exploratory thought has been a concept in statistics and related literature for many decades. 71.212.251.104 (talk) 05:44, 11 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
