Any at all?

It's like he thinks that to do so would be to admit he didn't already know everything, which would make him weak in his eyes.

Why would he admit to something that he has never been accused of?

Practicing for a debate with Chris Christie would be like practicing for a taekwondo tournament with Don Knotts.
