How much easier would it be to just cop to our shit?

I'm eating too much while stuck on the couch. See how easy it was?
Okay Congress, go ahead, admit you are only interested in the good of the nation and its citizens only insofar as you are each one of it citizens.
Corporate mangement, admit that what you sell is not what you deliver.
Adults, admit that you really don't know any more than most 15 year old children nor are you any more mature, no matter how many intervening years you've had.
Open source authors, admit your products only work for those who wish to put in as much effort using the tool as you did developing it, usually more.
Department of Defense, admit you have no idea what it would take to win in Afghanistan, or what the victory conditions would be even.
Wine critics, admit you have no more legitimate opinions than anyone else with an average palate.
Top Chef judges for the finale this season, admit that Bryan should have won and you are suffering from the same jaded palate problem that wine critics of the '80s did. Flavors have to be big and bold? Subtlety can't win the day? I can't wait for the pendulm to swing back so I can replay your comments for you in ten years.
Cooks, admit that scallops and salmon do not belong on every menu. And admit you're serving salad from the yuppie chow bag nine times out of ten.
AT&T admit you're coasting on the iPhone's success and don't give a hoot about your customers or your employees.

You get the idea.
