Hindsight Bias
Hindsight bias, also known as the "I-knew-it-all-along" effect, is the tendency for people to perceive past events as having been more predictable than they actually were before they occurred. It involves a distortion of memory where individuals mistakenly believe that they would have predicted an outcome or known the correct answer all along, despite not having done so.
