This does not excuse the press coverage calling SpaceX's Starship failure a "partial success"

That said, I've had bosses who yelled at employees when something failed, and I've had bosses who took the, "Let's use this as a learning experience and get it right next time" approach

And let me tell you, the latter bosses were a joy to work for, and got much better long-term results. The tyrants were a nightmare

Reflexively criticizing the humane approach seems weird
