Nicely explained.

One thing I have to tell novice experimenters a lot: A failed experiment is not when you get a result different than the one you wanted. A failed experiment is one where you don't learn what you set out to learn. Which can also be fine as long as you learn how your next experiment can be better.

This was a successful experiment.



Agree completely. I left the misleading title in there since not everyone is familiar yet with some of the lean terminology.

I did include a para further down in the article explaining this further. It's the failure to learn that is failure.
