Well....
People don't judge other people by the problems they have, we judge by how they handle those problems.
It is no sin to be wrong. It is a measure of the character of the individual as to how they handle being wrong. If they continue to deny they are wrong, that says a lot.
While I agree with your above quote, I disagree with your method.
With all due respect Bowser....*no one* can be forced to say what you need to hear. We only owe it to ourselves the intellectual honesty that you speak of.
