Good point! "New mission: fail at this mission" addresses the first point but not, I think, the second. It reminds me of Carlin's "If you buy 'The worst of Jefferson Airplane', and you like it, should you ask for your money back?", or the even-more-elemental "If you try to fail, and succeed, what happened?"
