It's not shameful. It's the road we're on. I once spent, seriously, almost two hours trying to debug an “impossible” bug caused by fat-fingering ) with } in a place perl couldn't accurately tell me what was going on. The problem was obvious but I was sure it was something else so I kept debugging and swapping lines and messing around with print statements and applying the keyboard to my forehead… We’ve all got at least one of those.

Well ... been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. It's perfectly acceptable to make silly mistakes but it's the *real* programmer that steps up to the plate and publicly tells where they've made mistakes. ++ to you.
