Well, a few thoughts.

1) It means you tried. Most people don't even get that far because they're too busy being terrified of failure 2) It means a hypotheses has been vetted and deemed not correct/successful, so something was learned. 3) I'm sure some of it is just trying to put a brave face on a shitty situation. If you try something, fail and then jump off a bridge because you're so donwn on yourself over it I'd say that's the wrong approach. No one likes failure, but having a more positive mindset about it is healthier than the alternative.

There is a difference between having a positive mindset and looking at something that negatively affected a lot of people as a positive. I don't think those two have to be the same at all.

I would love to hear some feedback from the employees there, however :)
