Totally right. Being error-free would have been better. But showing them that you are willing to expose yourself to them, and be forthcoming when you learn about a problem, will look better than if they find it on their own without your prior communication. The communication might cost you the job. But it also might not. And then if you get hired, you're safe. If you get hired under false pre-tenses and never speak up, they might never notice. But if they do, that could easily be grounds for termination (maybe at a time when you were thinking you're stable). 'tis now the time to fess up
