3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Of course, the test of foreseeability, or rea sonable anticipation as it is sometimes called, must be judged by foresight, not in retrospect. The wrongfullness, vel non, of a person’s conduct must be evaluated in the light of the risks apparent to him at the time, and not by looking backward ‘with the wisdom born of the event.’ Cardozo, C. J., in Greene v. Sibley, Lindsay & Curr Co., 177 N. E. 416 (N. Y.). See also, Martin G. Imbach, Inc. v. Tate, [ 203 Md. 348 , 100 A. 2d 808 (1953) ].” Id. at 367 .”
