I'd probably take the approach you suggested, Robert. For me, some grievances are worth fighting the system over, at any cost. A DFG citation where I am in the wrong isn't one of them.

Not that this is the right response (there is no right response for everyone), but for me my peace of mind is probably worth more than a (hopefully reduced) DFG fine.
