Not really. If hindsight bias is "when people who know the answer vastly overestimate its predictability or obviousness" (from the linked post), this is different - it's "when people who know the outcome identify a cause that exonerates them from blame".
Okay, how about this then? :)
Well, that is not entirely how science works because often you take in the results and then you see some pattern you didn't suspect would be there. The problem is when you don't really know how many possible patterns your brain was testing for when it seen the pattern.
