In this case, remember the context: one failure can lead to death and destruction on a large scale. Best not.
Plus, the difference between "can" and "do" is what keeps insurance companies and bookies afloat. :D

This is sort of an ambiguous statment. (or reversible or something)
You could easily argue. (if your a pessimist)
"What do a hundred successes matter, when one failure can change the world?"

"If at first you don't succeed, try and try again"
