Well, pity me for daring to acknowledge error!

And people wonder why it's so hard to do it?

Because nasty people will insult you for doing it, that's why.

These people simply hate. Making yourself vulnerable by acknowledging
error is an invitation to them to kick you while you are down. They
are dismal humans.

You mean the robot? What makes you think his behavior is not
predictable?

I Just wonder why its so hard for you to generalise the experience.

You finally admitted that your TSP solution was an abject failure
(never mind the "fact" that it was a proof). Now keep going.

What about your own insults (the ones you haven't dealt with yet,
even though your victims have been long vindicated).

Look in the mirror.

"The Robot" was right. You were wrong. Deal with it.

And you will do so again. And again &c, until you learn.
