Yes! I use this same approach with my team at work. Not only does it give that "face saving excuse," but it also establishes a more solidly cohesive team in general. It's a subtle way to train the team to view issues and screw ups from a place of curiosity over blame. And at the same time, if I or our CEO screws up, we openly admit it creating a safe place for natural human failures, along with the opportunity to learn from them, and full transparency from the top down. It's the perfect way to manage a team and probably the best way to go to gently red pill normies as they begin to wake up.
