Love the idea. Making errors is human. I have distrust for people who never admit being wrong. They are just wrong sometimes, as anyone else, they are just unwilling to admit it.
This would be an easy way to parse of a person have admitted being wrong more or less times.

one reason people don’t admit they are wrong is because other people will shame and attack them for being wrong.
admitting you were wrong isn’t consequence free. it’s shameful, bad, and weak and others want to punish you for it. hence why people are incentivized to never admit they are wrong… because that often avoids those consequences and a lot of people admire someone who never admits they are wrong as strong and good and they are inspired by it.
