kalduvus näha juba toimunud sündmusi enam ennetatavatena kui samu sündmusi enne nende toimumist
Good to know
Sündmust, mille tulemus on juba teada, võivad hindajad tagantjärele pidada suuremal määral ennetatavaks kui sündmuse toimumise ajal; mida tõsisem on tulemus, seda enam on võimalik, et selle tulemuseni viinud otsuseid käsitletakse taganjärele veana, mida oleks saanud ennetada.
the inclination to see events that have already occurred as being more predictable than they were before they took place
Good to know
The tendency is to judge the events leading up to an accident as errors because the bad outcome is known. The more severe the outcome, the more likely that decisions leading up to the outcome will be judged as errors, which implies that the outcome was preventable. Those reviewing events after the fact see the outcome as more foreseeable and therefore more preventable than they would have appreciated in real time.
