AFAICT, this means to seek disconfirming evidence, and update if and when you find it. Nothing to do with confidence.
Disconfirming evidence makes you less confident that your original beliefs were true.
If you find it; though this is nitpicking, as the net effect usually will be as you say. Still, this is completely different from the unconditional injunction to be less confident that the post suggests.
