Translation: I didn't actually require any answer other than "I am sorry, sir/ma'am, it will never happen again." Facts are irrelevant. I may not always be right, but I am never wrong, code monkey.

That's right. I have often spoken rapidly while saying the real reason(s) I believe lead to failure and then slow down and say "but never mind that, let's work out how to fix this and prevent it from happening, I'll get right on it", or something to that affect.
