Why success stories feel more authoritative than they really are

Once you know someone eventually received interviews, acceptances, or good match results, every earlier decision in their story starts looking more correct than it may actually have been.

That is just how hindsight works. It makes the path look cleaner than it was.

Start the course. Train your judgment. Make it automatic.
