It’s ok to admit that your initial comment was perhaps made in haste, and you’ve since realized that you were wrong.

We’re all adults here (presumably), and I think most of us here would appreciate the honesty. It’s ok to be wrong… And it’s even better to learn that you were wrong, and have a chance to remedy that.

Doubling down on something you know is bullshit just to save face is dumb. Who cares?
