Undoubted restrictions for red-hot tips (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

certainties

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'red-hot tips' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'undoubted restrictions' is the wordplay.
'undoubted' becomes 'certain' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'restrictions' becomes 'ties'.
'certain'+'ties'='CERTAINTIES'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for certainties that I've seen is " True facts".)
