I concur on admitting errors on rules interpretations. If for no other reason than I don't want to be "the official last week" who told the coach an incorrect rule and now my colleague has to clean up after me.
My judgement, however, is my judgement. I never error in judgement because, by definition, that is the way I saw it. I think I've told a coach once in 15 years, "If that's what happened and I missed it, then I'm sorry. But, that is not what I saw." Interestingly, I never did receive the video that I requested of that incident.
