>It's much better not to do dumb things than to do dumb things and then try to fix it. Yes, it's good to fix one's mistakes, but that doesn't mean we should be celebrating those mistakes.

But nobody was celebrating the mistake. The comment was literally commending someone's resolution of that mistake.

The assertion you're making/supporting is incredibly arrogant because it implies that living a life without mistakes is possible. As cliche as it sounds, nobody is perfect. It is not possible to live life without error.

In other words "Just don't make mistakes" is not advice: it is ego-tripping.
