Critical rationalists had a similar concept which they called an "immunizing strategy".

For those interested in the concept, it's probably worthwhile to look there for more info.

With a little poking around, I found a paper that gives a typology for immunizing strategies. I've only given it the most cursory glance. Caveat emptor. YMMV. IANAL.
