I profoundly disagree with altering one's original post because one is proved wrong or otherwise regrets what one has originally posted. By far the better (and more honest) course is either to humbly acknowledge the mistake or set out why you said what you did in the first place.

The only time I ever edit posts is either to address a point made by someone I cross-posted with (in which case I make that clear in the text of my post) or to correct typographical errors. Since I can't be bothered to type in "to correct typos" every time I edit, you can take it as red that that's the reason for any edited post of mine where no other reason is stated.
