Among Six Types Of Failure, Only A Few Help You Innovate

When I see the term FAILURE, my mind immediately strays to the Obama Administration. Fail early and often certainly seems to be their motto, although I'm not sure I see much innovation resulting from this, as the article (about computer design and problem solving) suggests.

Yes, he appeared weak and ineffective, but he did manage to drive all those oil rigs into the deep water off other countries where they can't contribute to the U.S. economy, but can still spoil the oceans.
