The full headline:

> Bad software sent postal workers to jail, because no one wanted to admit it could be wrong

The people who didn't want to admit that the software could be wrong... sent postal workers to jail.

The full headline feels misleading. It's not that no-one wanted to admit it could be wrong. No-one wanted to admit it was wrong. There were plenty of people involved who were well aware it was wrong, they just didn't want the consequences of that admission.

We've changed it. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26927818.
