Default Why do so many forecasters never admit getting it wrong?

From noob to pro forecasters i have very rarely seen a forecaster say i got
it wrong, they always reply but i said this and i said that so i nearly got
it right or im reading it wrong.

Why is this? its not just on forums but on tv aswell
This amount of snow for some areas today wasnt
forecasted, but do we see a well we didnt see this happening so be careful.

All of them are SO hyped up when they get it right
pointing fingers saying i told you so. Two,metcheck
ukww,net weather all the bloody same yet how often
do i see * well i was totaly wrong * probably once
a year. Even the met office forecasters well we did
forecast this days in advance give ourselves a pat on
the back.

If you question this, its frowned apon thats generally why
i was banned in the early days, i wont let up ill drag
you by your hands along the floor till you scream I admit
i got it wrong. But they dont they hide behind their status.

Dont forget the go on then prove it where did we say this
and that, most of the time i can but again im reading it wrong. How the f*ck
can i be reading it wrong did you
say it was going to snow or NOT?!
