    It’s not a failure, he made a choice. In hindsight we see it as the wrong choice, but we don’t know what the alternative is. We will never know if it was right or wrong, failure or success.

    Nothing is ever so simple.

        To fix your logic “It would be a failure if his goal was to keep his movement alive at any cost”. That clearly wasn’t his goal.

        Or have I missed the point entirely, and this is not a discussion but some point scoring thing based on digestible one liners.
