But it also reminds me of the joke: if the Pope tells you he believes in God that just means he’s doing his job. If he tells you he’s beginning to have doubts, maybe he’s onto something.

"Apologies for the downvote, on mobile", "why isn't there undo for votes?", etc. A lot like discussions when a paywalled article comes up. :-)
- gowld 4y agoIn US Law (Hearsay doctrine) that's called "admission against interest". Demonstrably self-harming statements are presumed to be honest. (The ways this can be abused by liars are interesting. Example: a parent confessing to a crime their child committed.)
