Great case study! Two things come to mind: a maxim often used in the tech industry to encourage risk taking and to discourage fear of failure, and a quote from Thomas Edison when he was asked about his many failures while trying to invent the lightbulb…
Maxim: “If you don’t fail now and then, you’re not trying hard enough.”
Edison: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

Indeed! Almost a truism, but if you aren't failing at least once in a while, you're not trying hard enough. Reassuring to see it in action.
