Ah, just like the PS3 hasn't been a success because it hasn't been used to make soup. I'm pretty sure when someone says something has been a success in every way the caveat that success is measured by it's goals is implied. "Well Jim, your team has just won the world series and everyone on the team batted 1.000 for the year and your pitchers pitched 162 perfect games. How do you feel?" "The season was a success in every fathomable way!" "Did you manage to cure cancer?" "Well, no" "Then how can you say that?" "Stop being pedantic." |
lmao!! Yes, perhaps I was embellishing a bit by stating is was a success in every fathomable way, as your anecdote proves.
However, your example is quite amusing :)
