A 'lookback' option is described as having 'hindsight' because:
- The payout is determined by a panel of experts looking back at market conditions.
- It adjusts the volatility input based on realized historical volatility.
- It can be traded even after the expiration date has passed.
- It allows the holder to effectively 'buy at the low' or 'sell at the high' of the observed price path.
