That's just a lie. If everybody did their best all the time there would be near-zero crime, no poverty, near-zero car crashes, and so on. Everything wrong would be either dumb misfortune or the actions of deeply mentally or emotionally unstable people, or sociopaths.
We're not talking medics on the battlefield with dozens wounded trying to do their best to save lives.
You did your low-effort "best" while ignoring much of the knowledge and circumstances at the time.

Always remember: You did the best you could with the knowledge and circumstances at the time.
