Interviewer: Tell me about a time when you made a decision that you later regretted/wish you had handled differently?
You: Let's start by opening my logbook up and turning to page 2............

I'd say that shows attention to detail. If you were going to create an elaborate forgery I doubt white out would be a key element. The fact that you went back and corrected it on paper says you wanted to be as accurate as possible. I only keep a log for my GA currency now, but with 17,000ish hours I bet there's a few errors and several undocumented flights I will never have the energy to correct. This can be a GOOD talking point. "I want to reflect my experience accurately while knowing my experience is near the minimum. I see this as a great opportunity that may be available to me for a limited time relatively early in my career and I know I have the ability but this log is the only way to express that to the interview panel so I want to be accurate"
