Hi CobaltBlue; Re: "This is diametrically opposed to American culture, where to admit a mistake is a sign of integrity. It is honorable to say, "I made a mistake, mea culpa.""

While this may be an ideal, it is only very rarely achieved. For example, the US got stuck in Vietnam largely because of the inability of the country's leaders to admit the mistake.
