So he paid a bonus one time? And that negates all the other times he refused to admit he was wrong (including the time this very article is about, twice)?

Yes, which invalidates your statement that said "refuses to admit when he makes a mistake".

> And that negates all the other times he refused to admit he was wrong

No, I personally think that he should have awarded the 2005 report.

Considering that we have one example where he rewarded the bountry and one where he did not I would say that "he has such a big ego and refuses to admit when he makes a mistake" is just as valid as "he is humble and admits it when he makes a mistake"
