"I think is harder to learn from failed projects if you're starting a kickstarter campaign because it's hard to quantify all the things that went wrong."
[edit] This is the statement I was responding to.
I agree with this statement [edit] to a degree. I would also say that it is also hard to quantify all the things that went right. I think that once people see a successful project/individual/company/etc. they interpret that success to trivial actions (that may or may not have contributed to the success.)
This also identifies another underlying problem; how is success defined?
