There is no obligation on my part to provide you anything. And I did not “make a claim”.

No one is capable of being a "good example". Completely impossible. We are all sinners. "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." This is what Jesus was trying to get across to the Holier-than-Thou Pharisees. Unfortunately, in American Christianity today, we have a lot of Evangelicals who want to talk about the Law from a similar position as the Pharisees of old, and not the Gospel, as if any man could possibly be justified under the Law. No one can. That's the whole point...we all need the Gospel for salvation.
