If you're unable to brute-force verification (research, testing, consulting the ancient texts), there's where you stop what you're doing, and take a breath. Then, consult an expert. Just like the film critic analogy, it's easier to verify than to create, so you're saving the expert time and effort while learning about something that you were obviously already passionate enough about to have started this endeavor.
As someone who codes, it's not always easier to verify than to create.
