if the intention is to fail, then failure is the only success to be had, thus one has failed in succeeding
your statement though could suggest that one has succeeded in the task which one was attempting to fail (thus failed), or in fact that one succeeded in failing as intended (thus succeeded)
Hmmm interesting point of view.
But i wouldn't say one has succeeded in failing, as when failing becomes the objective, it becomes success. It can't rly be referred to as failing anymore (from the objective point of view) And therefor the entire notion of failure as was before objectives were set is gone, and it becomes success, failing at that goal (which in laymans terms would be failing at failing) would become failing and succeeding would become success (laymans terms failing).
Think you said this but just wanted to clarify a bit :D
Main point for me is that failing disappears and is replaced by success in its entirety.
