"The conceivability of being wrong" and "perspective-taking on beliefs" are old indeed; I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find explicit precedent in Ancient Greece.

Payoff matrices as used in the grid-visualization method are ancient; using the grid-visualization method in response to a temptation to rationalize was invented on LW as far as I currently know, as was the Litany of Tarski. (Not to be confused with Alfred Tarski's original truth-schemas.)
"The conceivability of being wrong" aka "Consider the opposite" is the standard recommended debiasing technique in psychology. See e.g. Larrick (2004).
