It seems to me that the word 'admit' deserves an honourable mention in this post. It seems to me that you are saying that we should 'admit it when we are wrong'. It sounds odd to say 'be wrong'... as if somehow writing down '2+2=5' makes us a better person when we know full well it equals 4.

Yup.

Though perhaps accept and admit should be in there.

Or, perhaps, admit has accept in it intrinsically.

Yeah. When we 'admit' when tell other people (typically) and when we 'accept' we tell ourselves. But both words are good and useful.
