Amazing. Just great.

Imagine being confronted for lying and just going "hey it was an accident okay I didn't MEAN to decieve people, I just used the machine known for deceiving people and willingly put my name on its deceptions and it deceived people!" and having people defend you.

    Actually, he completely admitted to and took full responsibility for his mistake; at no point did he offer an excuse, only an explanation.

    To the extent I was defending him, it was because people insisted on painting him in the worst possible light, and on misinterpreting his explanation as an excuse, not because I think that everything that he did was okay.
