Wait, what? Does this matter? Can I normally change my plea? I'm fascinated please elaborate

It's more like you can plead not guilty but still be convicted. So by accepting the pardon you are admitting you are in fact guilty. Kinda fucked in other situations really.

This is not actually true. It was once person's excuse for not wanting to accept a pardon in the past.
