There's nothing pretentious about the word "failure."
I do not believe the people who plod through a huge multi-page, multi-code-sample question at StackOverflow are just casual dabblers who are likely to leap away from the discussion when they discover the top-rated answer features the word "failure."
I suspect that you also believe that you are not being pretentious and pedantic by raising this point. I emphatically disagree. The latter half of the criticism raised in my comment was directed towards your initial comment and comments or explanations like yours that are prevalent in advanced fields. I apologize for not being clear.
I'm sorry, but I got turned off from reading the rest of your comment when I got to "emphatically." Maybe you should change it to "like totally." To accommodate me.
