The exception being those who don't admit to making errors. They are legion.

Then they wouldn't be a professional. They'd be a fraud.

Tariffs Didn’t Fuel Revival for American Steel
Initial job growth withers as demand and prices sink; older mills face a dim future

Gee, I wonder whether Donny and his idiot economic "advisors" will admit they were wrong? Ya think, Whell?

Per Google:
pro·fes·sion·al
noun
1. a person engaged or qualified in a profession.
"professionals such as lawyers and surveyor
Pretty sure plenty of frauds meet this definition.

I wouldn't expect politicians to admit they were wrong unless it was politically expedient to do so. Are you attempting to conflate politicians with professional economists like Krugman?

A politician's answer. So I guess you'll never admit to having been conned by your Dear Leader, then.

In most professions, once you've engaged in fraud, you are no longer a professional (i.e., your professional license is revoked for fraud).

Yes, yours was a politician's answer. Politicians are quite deft and deflecting, and answering the question they want to answer rather than on the one they were asked.
