Of course not, but the likelihood of the official not giving credence to those players admitting it is small. He'd look like an idiot if this were to happen and he wouldn't reverse the call.

You can't compare a team sport that is regulated by officials to an individual sport regulated by the participants.

Granted, but there's no other sport where the participants regulate the sport, so I can't compare it to another sport.

I remember several years ago, prior to replay, seeing players give a let when they saw that the wrong call was made. I don't have the time or energy to search for this on youtube, but it's happened.

If you say so, I'll trust that you are an honest person and doing the right thing by not lying to me.

Furthermore, the point is that it's a horrible indictment of society that you feel the need to praise someone for following the rules

Praise is the wrong word. I wasn't praising Davis. I was giving him credit for doing the right thing. If you don't see the need for positive reinforcement after someone does the right thing, I can't help you.
