Add Hindsight Bias #13

Open jochenleidner opened 5 months ago

jochenleidner commented 5 months ago

Hindsight bias is the phenomenon that people claim after an event that they had known the outcome already before the event, but they may not have stated it beforehand, or not in a way that can be verified.

For example: Peter said he knew all along that Trump was going to win the election.

(We can perhaps detect sentences that look like hindsight bias, but we cann never be sure how much the person knew or said before the event when we only have access to the statement after the event.)

Would argue that this is unsubstantiated claim bias
