bill, I'd forgotten(!) that there is an english word that's sort of related to those 'wit of the staircase' words. afterwit is given by Mrs. Byrne as the locking of the barn door after the cows have gone or, less prosaically, knowledge that is gained too late to do any good.
this seems like a perfectly good word to bring out of obs. and apply to our concept.
