When an athlete that recently went pro performes badly he's referred to as a bad player. You don't say wait he's new lets judge him later. You say that he's bad. Again it doesn't mean that he'll never be good especially since he's still new and all.

 

Edit: This turned into an argument of what failure means. I think I agree with you, but I think that the use of the word failure in this instance is not wrong.

Thanks for bringing up this example that proves my point and sceals the deal. They might call the player bad, but they certainly won't call him a failure.
