With the benefit of hindsight. In what circumstances will hindsight be beneficial?

Answer 1

In any situation where you think "I wish I hadn't done that"... 9/10 alcohol is involved ;o)

Answer 2

Hindsight is never beneficial in the event that's just passed. It is in future events since you've learned from the previous experience.

We learn from every mistake except the last one.

Answer 6

Any bad outcome that you survive and have to deal with the same or similar circumstances - unfortunately, upon death all benefits are rescinded.
