One often sees this from parents. Kid says something outrageously disrespectful to mom or dad and said victim immediately responds, "Billy! How could you! Say you're sorry!" Billy, curtly and quitely responds, "sorry." How does this obviate the implications of the transgression?
Donger, I'm not trying to imply that this situation is analogous. Just the most ready example that comes to mind, and your post raised an interesting question for me.

Perhaps I'm giving the young man too much credit? We'll see.
