What types of problems do you expect this heuristic to be successful with? If the problem is something like improvizing jazz, it will fail miserably.
Problems that require decisions. I doubt that any of the heuristics mentioned here would have any relevance to jazz improvisation.
More generally, I consider heuristics to be not substitutes for thought, but pointers to get thought moving in the most promising direction first.
