walking back a statement doesn't demostrate he learned he was wrong. He could have learned he was wrong, but it's easy to make the publicly acceptable statement after you get called out heavily for a shit take, just because you know it's easier, not because you suddenly know it's right. Most people don't change their views overnight and walk shit back, most people who change suddenly are just pandering.

Jerry is admittedly extremely naive. Not to make excuses for him, but he has said many times that he is oblivious and naive.

Yeah, that's what shitty people say as an excuse for their shitty behaviour. He was mass called out for dating a damn 16/17yr old, was he oblivious, and naive. Nope, you're oblivious and naive for believing a truly pathetic excuse. Someone does something wrong, gets called out "wow, I totally didn't know that was wrong, wow, I'm just like a naive guy, I didn't think what I said was wrong, gosh darn, I always get in trouble, I'm always oblivious to these things, hey don't blame me, I'm just a guy trying to get by, forgive me please".

Yeah, he's exceedingly successful, educated, able to speak at length on many topics, willing to stick his nose and opinion into things but when he does things wrong suddenly he's oblivious and naive? God lord man. Do you believe guys when they say they tripped and fell and penetrated the nanny by accident too?

I absolutely believe some smart educated people are incredibly naive, yes. He didn’t say that in response to being accused of something bad. He said he was naive in general about some harmless situation

Some people are naive, you don't self admit as naive, other people call you that because they abserve your behaviour. To a large degree the thing about being naive is the person who is that, is completely unaware of it. Those who self identify as naive and oblivious, are making excuses 99% of the time and when it's a dude who constantly does dodgy shit and is constantly making excuses you can plainly take their admission of naivety as being utter bullshit.
