Much has been written about "those three little words" and most of the time those words were

"I love you".

There are three other little words that many are reluctant to say: "I was wrong".

There are some who, for fear of being wrong, avoid voicing an opinion until after the fact. They are cut from the same cloth as those who wait until the morning after an election to put the winner's bumper sticker on their vehicle,

When pre-election polls turn out to be right, these folks will tell you that they "never doubted the outcome" and criticize those whose distrust of polls caused them worry.

If the pre-election polls were wrong, these same people will insist that they "never believed them" and ridicule those who were misled by them.

That's the way I see it----but I could be wrong.

1. You're right: 'I was wrong' often means a lot more

Not least, because people's egos make it so hard to say (at first, anyway).

As far as politics, I've never heard a right-winger admit they were wrong - even after the Bush debacle, the Trump catastrophe, or the Macri calamity (among my Argentine relatives).

People seem to take politics - and politicians they've never even met (and who'd probably disdain them) - as seriously as any relationship.

Seniors, I've noticed, can be the worst about this. It is what it is.

2. For my part, I've never doubted you could maybe be wrong ... or right

Maybe I should start a poll on the question ...
