In Italy we say "con il senno di poi ..." that translates to "in hindsight" or "in retrospect" but that literally means "with the wits (or wisdom) of afterwards" that somehow is more expressive. These experts are very good to pick good examples and make "vague" predictions - not entirely unlike economists and astrologists (not exactly the same category, but seemingly very, very similar in accuracy) - the key problem remains the oversimplification in attributing the success (or failure) of anything (particularly such a complex item as a car or a computer product) to a single (or a handful of) reason(s).
