I’ve never had a scientific paper retracted, though I have retracted claims in my communication with the public.
Haven’t we all? I don’t think that’s necessarily the same as a scientific retraction. It’s more like updating a Bayesian estimate with new information.

I suppose I meant it here in a less formal sense, but with more seriousness than making a silent correction.

Retraction: Based on new information, or reconsideration of existing information, statements previously make were incorrect and/or can no ;longer be supported. Honesty and professionalism require these statements be removed from the record.
