I think she meant the process is going backward.

If it's cyclical I guess it could be backward, unless you agree we are always moving forward (on whatever level). Although on a circle backward can be forward and vice versa.

*pauses in confusion*.

Anyway, I agree with that TS but would add that it is not rationalisation, in fact it is largely irrational, moulding events and perception to coexist more happily with existing preconceptions.
