More and more people are familiar with this strategy. It's even gotten as far as the White House. Children think that this looks like strength. But actual adults know it is weakness. It betrays a deep insecurity. A confident person, an *adult, knows that strength comes from being able to acknowledge their mistakes and idiocy and resolve to do better in the future. Retarded insistence on our supposed "correctness" and insisting we should only "look strong" in the public sphere is the mark of children. Nobody should put faith is such people, they have no actually inner mettle or character. Real strength comes from acknowledging you're an idiot, not portraying artificial confidence.
