People make mistakes, it's not that deep. The correct incentive to encourage is admitting, and understand and forgiving when necessary because you don't want to encourage people to hide mistakes out of shame. That only makes things worse.

I know. One of them has a higher salary.

Do you think people who work at Google are perfect?
