No, you are right no apology. However perhaps in an additional ten years the
FDA will issue an apology for the "forgone opportunity costs" of all the
children killed by this drug.

So RU-486 was finally approved after a 10-year FDA delay. As usual, no
apology from the FDA for ten years worth of foregone opportunity costs.
Even for me, this one's hard to believe...

"[W]hen we attempt to prove by direct argument, what is really
self-evident, the reasoning will always be inconclusive; for it
will either take for granted the thing to be proved, or something
not more evident; and so, instead of giving strength to the
conclusion, will rather tempt those to doubt of it, who never
did so before."
