- ec109685 9y agoHow is owning up to a mistake something to be specifically applauded? He is a very distinguished scientist with a huge amount of published work. It is far easier for him to own up to a mistake than a fledgling scientist just getting started. He has far less to "lose". Admitting mistakes should be normal behavior for everyone.
