Interestingly in the legal system, accepting responsibility is "admission against interest", and actively warned against by counsel. There are some public figures who live and breath the lessons of an adversarial legal system. Self-reflection is reflexively rejected as having no possible upside, because any correction is an admission against interest. Such a mind has mutilated itself. That anyone finds such a mind attractive, worthy of emulation, is by far the most astonishing phenomena of my life.
