| in 20/20 hindsight decisions A percepção posterior correta das decisões Explanation: What does it mean to have 20 20 hindsight? It mean that you can look in the past (hindsight) and see what you did wrong. Perfect vision is 20/20. So as you look back, you're able to see "perfectly" what you should have done. Hindsight is 20/20 http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_it_mean_to_have_20_20_hi... The expression, Hindsight is 20-20, is intended to mean that once a choice is made and you see how things went, you can then see everything perfectly. (20-20 is an expression that means one s eyesight is perfect.) The assumption is that when you find out the results of a choice or set of choices, that you then have information about how things would have turned out if you had chosen things differently. But this is not how things work. People say hindsight is 20-20 but the fact is, no matter how badly some decision works out, you never know if a different choice might not have worked out even worse. Further, there is no way of knowing how a particular situation is going to work out in the long run. There is no 20-20. So there is no justification for believing you are certain that you or anyone else made a mistake. Actually, no sight is 20-20. Even present sight isn t 20-20. Nobody can see every aspect of anything, ever. Nobody knows if what happened today -- what is happening right NOW -- will work out to be apparently bad or apparently good. http://www.head-cleaners.com/hindsight.html twenty-twenty or 20/20 adj: having the normal visual acuity of the human eye that according to one common scale can distinguish at a distance of 20 feet characters one-third inch in diameter From _Webster's Third New International Dictionary_ twenty-twenty vision n. [20C] perfect vision, in a fig. sense; thus _twenty-twenty insight_, a fig. perfect understanding or appreciation of what has already been seen. [ophthalmic jargon _20/20_, perfect vision] From _Cassell's Dictionary of Slang_ by Jonathon Green http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/21/messages/437.htm... |
