But in the real world, read the room. Some people may not be in great situations at work and can't leave. If it's unusual at work for anyone to accept fault or admit they were wrong there's likely a good reason for that.
I've worked a big corporate job where your upward mobility was based largely on the appearance of rather than the substance of your work. So even doing good work you were better off never admitting fault because people would use that against you. That job wasn't for me but there were lots of people there with nowhere else to go. They weren't bad people, that was just the world they lived in.

In a perfect world: yes, this.

So that said, read the room.
