I think it depends on a situation. Actually, in hierarchical structure such as company, it is common to say sorry to boss and that apology is usually perfunctory not seriously. Although that apology is fake, almost boss didn\'t care honesty of apology. They just consider their freshman\'s attitude. Like this case, there are cases where it is considered okay if the apology is fake. However, in personal relationship, the apology have to be honest. I don\'t have any experience for that. But if someone say sorry with fake and his intention is to ignore me, I will end up that relationship.
