That’s the issue; he didn’t need to say anything all.
Failing that he could have just said the bit about he picked the wrong one. That’s humility. It’s the “everybody else got it wrong too” bit that he whiffs on, there’s no need for it. In fact by pointing that out even if it is true he’s actively diminishing his responsibility for it. Therefore he gets no credit for trying - and ultimately failing - to be humble.
