This is a case of availability heuristic, if I understand what you’re saying. That people who screw up and admit only in the end gets into the news; those who admit big mistakes early do not.
Sounds reasonable. But this example is not really about mistakes, just an adjustment of ambitions and expectations, which might even be subconscious. It’s not really about right or wrong, as I see it.
