What did you mean? You don't mean that if X makes a mistake that you made first, that mistake is a credit to X, do you?

Not at all. Just that mistakes happen to everyone, even the biggest corporations.

I could have phrased that a little better. Perhaps "I've made similar types of mistakes that were obvious in retrospect, so I have a hard time faulting them" might be a better way to say it.

Oh, OK. That makes sense.
