votre conduite sera jugée rétrospectivement/en rétrospective


Explanation:
20-20 hindsight est un jeu de mot sur 20-20 sight, qui veut dire une vision parfaite (20/20).
Hindsight veut dire avec du recul ou rétrospectivement, en rétrospective.

"votre conduite sera jugée rétrospectivement/en rétrospective".

Pour ce qui est de garder le jeu de mots, cela me viendra peut-être plus tard, mais pour l'instant rien ne me vient à l'idée.
Bonne chance!

objectivement après coup selon des baramètres très exigeants


Explanation:
20-20 hindsight

20-20 = une vision parfaite (pas besoin de lunettes !) > bar. très exig.

hindsight = après

The standard expressions are: "Everything is easy with 20/20 hindsight" (ie if you could do something again with what you know now, you would be able to do it perfectly).

The case for the defence rests.

I was simply trying to explain the metaphor to you, and I believe that I did so very effectively - there is no need to be insulting, especially as you are getting this help for free.
