Hindsight....isn't it just perfect?

“Hindsight is good, foresight is better; but second sight is best of all.”
-Evan Esar (1899 – 1995) U.S. humorist

"education is what's left over after you've forgotten the facts."
-Will Rogers

Education is what survives when what has been learnt has been forgotten."
- B. F. Skinner (famous American psychologist)

With hindsight, we see that the Soviet Union never had a chance of world domination, but we didn't know that then.
-Ken Follett

MQ-It's only very recently that it became illegal to light fires on aircraft and carry litres of highly flammable liquids in glass bottles. Airlines were happy for people to do so until the government made it illegal. It used to be very annoying to me to have people lighting fires in the row next to me, blowing smoke all over the place. They could easily smash a few litres of super proof booze and light a pretty good fire and use the broken bottles as reasonable weapons. Now, they finally figured out that that wasn't a good thing to allow but they go berserk and ban Granny from carrying her toothpicks and nail varnish.

It's called shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
