The phrase "hindsight is 20/20" has always bothered me, because 20/20 vision is merely average, and the implication of the phrase is that hindsight allows us to see things much more clearly, with perfect or near-perfect vision.
So I lobby that we change the phrase to "hindsight is 20/10", since 20/10 vision is the best possible score on the Snellen Chart.
