Her comment best illustrates "hindsight bias".


Hindsight bias is a psychological phenomenon in which past occasions appear to be more noticeable than they showed up while they were happening. Hindsight bias can lead a person to trust that an occasion was more unsurprising than it really was, and can result in a misrepresentation in circumstances and end results. Hindsight bias is considered in behavioral economics.
