I'm not sure if you're trolling or not. It has been stated for weeks a 'failure' would been an explosion on the pad. It was stated It would be 50/50 for it to reach orbit. It would be like a 1st year expansion team saying 'as long as we don't end up in last place' all while the critics are mocking because they didn't win the championship. There is valid criticism about the launch method but it certainly isn't in how far it made it.
