Because he doesn't want to admit he's wrong.

Why is it so hard to believe that Joe doesn't think he's wrong?[/quote]
All I know is that if it was me that said it, I'd be forced to apologize if I hadn't already done so.

Oh, I absolutely think Joe should apologize (and the fact that he hasn't will indeed make a difference if something similar happens again). I was merely disagreeing with your assessment of why he hasn't; to "admit" to being wrong, I think one has to believe that one is wrong, and Joe doesn't think he is. Doesn't make him any less wrong, of course.
This is just an example of Hanlon's Razor, nothing more.
