Well, I think that’s a benefit of hindsight in general, that you’d phrase things differently. Going into a discussion, you really don’t know which words or phrases are going to either set someone off or go totally unnoticed. Knowing the outcome allows you to do things like “well, what I meant was this, but it got interpreted as that, so I’d say it differently to avoid that whole thing”. Which can be helpful in time for the next discussion, and so I’m glad to hear when people do it.
Because eventually Bill Murray figured a way out of Groundhog Day, right? 😉
