Your interpretation of "inversion" is correct. The aim is to find statements such that if told P, you say "yes, that's what I would have expected", but that you have the same reaction if instead you're told not-P. See the linked post "Hindsight devalues science" for why such statements exist and why he's looking for examples of them.
