Title: Illusion of Validity (psychology)

Ilusion of validity is a term used by Daniel Kahneman on his book Noise. The idea is: whenever you feel that your understanding of the present will transform into a prediction of the future is a illusion.

Daniel Kahneman talked extensively about human cognitive bias, and this concept can be seen as another human bias: the tendency to project into the future our understanding of the present, which does not hold true when compared to facts.

"“Meehl’s results strongly suggest that any satisfaction you felt with the quality of your judgment was an illusion: the illusion of validity.”"
