Explain the hindsight bias

What will be an ideal response?

The hindsight bias is the tendency to believe falsely, after the outcome is known, that we'd have accurately predicted it. When we have accurate feedback on the outcome, we seem pretty good at concluding it was obvious. The hindsight bias reduces our ability to learn from the past. It lets us think we're better predictors than we are and can make us falsely confident.
