So, Jim admits to a mistake he made with his original review, and changes his score to reflect the fact that he did make a mistake, and now people get on his case for that? Honestly, if anything that makes me respect him more, since he's actually willing to owe up to his mistakes. I think people still don't get the fact that reviews are subjective views of the person writing them.

He's willing to admit to a mistake that was so obviously incorrect that there was no plausible way for him to maintain integrity had he left it alone. It's purely damage control.

I think our view of integrity is quite different. If he had left the score as it was originally and tried to hide the fact that it was a mistake, that would have meant his integrity was in question, but the way he handled the situation is to me the mark of someone who has a lot of integrity.
