'Failure' is when the whole system crashes. Andreas is really talking about small setbacks that lead to failure. And I think its better to embrace Samuel Beckett's mantra: "Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better.” It's arguably the core tenet of agile/lean anyway. Measure, learn, improve. If you're taking those single steps backwards and using them to make two steps forward, that's the opposite of failure.
