In fact, I would suggest that a mentor who never made a mistake would be useless. It is their steadfastness and honesty that counts; their showing that anyone can get there from here.
The day the master seamstress who was my teacher came into class and confessed that the previous evening she had sewn in a sleeve inside out, I wanted to kiss her. Seriously, if folks put their mentor or teacher on a pedestal, then they remain acolytes, and never develop the mindset to let them become masters, mentors or teachers.
