> And probably most pertinent to this discussion, Pauli predicted Neutrinos before they were detected.
Because of the experimental result of missing energy in the beta radiation spectrum.
Bone of these were "pure thought experiments" as you describe. Many were side effects, new predictions of theories to address other experimental results, but none of them happened in isolation.
You simply don't make predictions about the real world in "pure thought experiments".
