Outcome bias

Outcome bias is when someone judges a decision by its result, instead of judging it on the quality of the decision itself. For example, if a basketball player takes a shot in the last second and it goes in, people might think he's a great player. But, even if he missed the shot, he still might have taken a good shot and made a good decision. It's important to judge decisions on the quality of the decision itself and not just the end result.
