more examples would be nice...
Also, should this page make reference to anachronism?
[edit] distinction from hindsight bias? original definition?
How does the historian's fallacy differ from hindsight bias? What is special about the "history" (rather than simply "past")?
BTW, does the indicated reference (Historians' Fallacies) really talk about the topic of the article? If so, could you please provide the page number for a definition or "closest description"? At least the title suggest that this is not a fixed term ("the" historian's fallacy, as indicated in the article), but rather a description (historians' fallacies - plural! i.e. all the different fallacies that historians might be subject to).
Finally, if it is really the same as the psychologist's fallacy, I don't see why we should have two articles on exactly the same topic. If it's not, that should be explained in the article. Again, a reference of a definition could be very helpful. Thanks a lot, Ibn Battuta (talk) 04:51, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
