It doesn't. It might show a guilty concience or lack of judgement, but it doesn't make you somehow of higher integrity. But he didn't admit to being wrong. He admitted to doing something that lacked integrity. Big difference. Not sure if this is a good analogy, but if you are working for a company and say you will work 40 hours and it ends up you could only work 35 due to circumstances beyond your control, you are wrong. If you worked 35 hours, but told the person paying you you worked 40 hours and collected the money, you did something lacking integrity.
