Fool's Gold Apologies

People don't really want apologies. What is really desired is a sincere acknowledgment of a mistake or something deliberately done wrong that results in a genuine apology; the apology is only an emergent property that follows. The delivery of an apology without honest recognition of mistakes is like being given fool's gold as if it's real; both are worthless and insulting when offered. If more widely understood, this idea could be used to produce fewer lawsuits & political battles along with a wide variety of better personal relationships.
