How many scientific papers contain the lines: “In the past the authors of this papers were wrong about X, but they changed their opinion because of Y”?
I had guessed it must be something like that, but I failed to see the typo in the grandparent and changed my mind to the parent being some different joke I didn’t get or something. (I’ve retracted the downvote to the parent.)

In short, not nearly enough.
None, because journals are really careful about proof-reading.
Do you mean:
1) Because journals are really careful about proof-reading and there are no errors in journal articles?
2) Because journals are really careful about proof-reading, they delete every sentence where a scientist says that “I’ve been wrong in the past”?
3) Some other way in which careful proof-reading removes the possibility that “I’ve been wrong in the past” appears in a journal article?
It was grammar nitpicking. “The authors where wrong”.

Also “this papers”.
