I do not want to decisively label it as something like "hindsight bias" because IF this knowledge has been embedded and latent in my head, then maybe I WAS subconsciously aware of it. I suppose hindsight bias is a possibility, but that is just one option proposed by my question. <BR/><BR/>I think this brings me right back to where I started with my question, but with a new phrasing: Is it hindsight bias or is it a latent piece of knowledge?<BR/><BR/>Also, I think uncovering and learning, in most cases anyway, are fairly easy to decipher from one another. If I were watching an Usher video in which Usher just stated his birthplace and his mother's name, then I would absolutely be learning these facts, not awakening them from dormant areas of my mind. I suppose it is too late now, though, to discover if my dilemma was previously known or not now that I DO know actually it.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13433314383673381357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269075707294672290.post-9734508466080556962008-04-29T21:15:00.000-07:002008-04-29T21:15:00.000-07:00The term for that is hindsight bias.

For example, after September 11th when people said, "I saw that coming" or "obviously that was going to happen," when in actuality they had no idea, they just thought they did. Sort of like you and Usher.andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077375849915800068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269075707294672290.post-6699535023981575382008-04-28T20:16:00.000-07:002008-04-28T20:16:00.000-07:00Isn't it one of those things though where you are ...Isn't it one of those things though where you are not meant to know whether you just figured something out? You're really not uncovering anything you didn't already know about yourself. Perhaps you just "wanted" to think you knew what Usher was saying in between the refrain. I really don't know if you will ever be able to decipher between uncovering or learning especially with something of this nature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
