Why do plaintiff lawyers like computer generated re-enactments? See: "Hindsight Bias, Visual Aids, and Legal Decision Making: Timing is Everything". Who's more prone to falling prey to the reasoning flaw, young adults or seniors? See: "Hindsight Bias From 3 to (% Years of Age"

Finally, why do we reason? Is it "a political instrument, a continuation of political relations, a carrying out of the same by other means"? See: "Why Do Humans Reason? Arguments for an Argumentative Theory". Maybe now we know why the ancients thought that rhetoric was an essential skill for any leader.
