Don't take ideas seriously unless you can take uncertainty seriously.
Taking uncertainty seriously is hard. Pick a belief. How confident are you? How confident are you that you're that confident?
The natural inclination is to guess way to high on both of those. Not taking ideas seriously acts as a countermeasure to this. It's an over-broad countermeasure, but better than nothing if you need it.
