Making bread is something for which cookbooks and recipes compilations are ill suited. Bread is invariably about ingredients and technique.The flour is different, the water is different, the yeast is different, the ovens produce different transfers of energy, etc etc. So this is about corrections, adjustments, and tacit knowledge about what you can do to "push" (really 'nudge') the output in a calibrated way. The author is correct that iteration is essential to learning in this contex. But iteration is not "failure", but simply "mediocrity" with adjustment. Referring to mediocrity as 'failure' lacks requisite precision, although maybe it sounds cool.
