I think Rainbow's T has the confidence to say she could have done something differently. You can often do things differently. It doesn't mean you should necessarily be in the doghouse, as it were.

You thinking I'm black and white thinking sounds pretty black and white thinking to me, but maybe I have misunderstood you? I thought I was questioning whether they were contradictory statements, and it sounds like you are thinking that wondering if they are contradictory is black-and-white thinking. Is that it? I think there might be an explanation that makes them not contradictory. I don't know. I also think they might be contradictory.
It's sounding like you are uncomfortable with me thinking the two might be contradictory. Is that it?
I'm not sure how you know that Rainbow's T is like but maybe there is more of a connection that I know about - entirely possible.
There's a long road between "a mistake" and the doghouse in my world. Maybe your world is different?
