...not quite - the intent is that someone who has good skills produced a poor piece of work. For example, a baseball player can get 3 at bats in a game and strike out two of the three times (66% failure rate). Yet a 33% success rate (i.e., a .333 average) over the course of his career is enough to get into the Hall of Fame. Likewise, Winegardner may be a good writer, but this time he struck out.
