i've seen some people trashing kyle for this.

i think that's the wrong thing to do. he made a mistake and thought something was simpler than it was.

he realized he was wrong, learned from it, said sorry, and promised to do better.

what more could you ask of anyone? https://twitter.com/Kyle_Feldscher/status/1306327780049776641

what would you ask for yourself when next you get something wrong?

we all do it.

even cats.

nobody bats 1.000.

if you want a real culture of discourse and debate, you have to allow people to make mistakes and retract claims.

if you pigpile on them for it, you're just encouraging people to be dogmatic jerks.

why recant if it just invites attack?

haranguing those who change their position is the act of a partisan, not a seeker of truth.

which do you want to be?
