Of course. I'm talking more about cases where exceptional products are born out of early failure. There's usually a transition phase in between failure and success that doesn't involve tangible work. Sometimes it takes months just to figure out where to go next. It's much easier to refine an idea when you've been immersed in a particular problem space. Longer time frames also allow for taking a step back to think and reflect—both of which are hard to do when your head is down and you're constantly working.
