I'd rather be embarrassed than deceased? And there's nothing embarrasing in admitting a bad decision.
From an air traffic controllers point of view, we will do our outmost to help if you get into trouble, noone is gonna yell at you on the frequency. We do understand that everyone makes a bad jugdement from time to time, and there's no need to kill the guys over that.
Even the authorities will normally go easy on folks now a days, they won't say "good job" or pad your back, but they will not fine or jail you either.
