It's not like Ainz has any way to avoid having the denizens of Nazarick attribute nigh omniscience to all his actions other than proving that he is completely unworthy of that assumption. He's constantly telling the Floor Guardians outright that he doesn't know absolutely everything, that he can make mistakes, that he has to be cautious about unforeseen dangers, etc.

They just completely ignore everything he tells them to that effect and assume it's all part of some big plot, whether to weed out disloyalty (they sure seem open to the idea of accusing each other of treachery, let alone incompetence), or to force them to develop their own abilities, or to decieve enemies (who naturally are all just dancing in the palm of Ainz's skeletal hand).

The question is whether there is anything Ainz could do, short of getting all of them killed and not rezzing them, which could possibly prevent them from continuing to assume that everything he does is absolutely perfect.

Ainz only wants them to be aware that he needs help so that they'll do a little more to help him, he's not interested in convincing them he's fallible if doing so would actually harm Nazarick.

But I have to say, Ainz's unwillingness to give in to the voices telling him that everything he does is automatically right is, to me, the most charming characteristic he has, or that anyone could ever have. Because it is the fundamental mental habit of people who actually manage to avoid being wrong...thinking that you could be wrong and constantly striving to avoid it is the only real way anyone can reliably be right.
