The more intelligent and less gullible people are likely to see the deception behind such actions. And "owning up" makes one seem more honorable in the eyes of these more intelligent people. Also, if you play your cards right, you could win over the sympathies of those aforementioned intellects with all your nobility and whatnot.

Hi Myers
How do you respond when your lies/half-truths are exposed and you are forced to face the consequences and pay the price? Is the public humiliation and price you pay worth the giggle?
"Owning up" to a mistake is only noble if you can prove it by never allowing it to happen again. Actions speak louder than words.
If you believe you are better than others (as stated in another post), why wouldn't you have the strength to stand behind your own words and deeds? How would this be considered "better" than your average human being?
