You said that they are incapable of admitting that they were wrong. Which says that they know that they are wrong but they won't admit it.

My point was that they have no idea that they are wrong. They will never admit anything because they have no idea that they are in the wrong on almost everything. They cannot fathom that they, or their orange idol, could be wrong.

But, yes, we are both pointing out that 'being the bigger person' is just something that they cannot do, whether it is because they won't admit they are wrong or that they have no idea that they are.
