Is it paranoid or hopeful when I imagine that this mission was successful with 'failed test' for a cover story? ;)

I heard about an engineer, back in the early spacecraft days, who described one that blew up on the pad as a "catastrophic failure". His boss chewed him out royally, saying that every mission was no less than a "partial success". The engineer rewrote his report and said it was a "catastrophic partial success".
