Meaning

The quote says that what people call informed decisions is often really a process of making guesses first and only afterward judging the outcome. It adds a sarcastic point that when the result is poor, people tend to fault others instead of admitting the guess was uncertain. The humor comes from presenting this as a long-standing pattern in decision-making.
