More than two different positions, I think that's two different senses of “right”. Once you replace it with “yielding a better expected outcome given what you knew when making the choice” or “yielding a better outcome given what we know now”, people wouldn't actually disagree about anything.
(I myself prefer to use “right” with the former meaning.)
(I've seen people using “right” for the former and “lucky” for the latter, and people using “rational” for the former and “right” for the latter.)
