What is the methodology called where you:

Plan to go to orbit, blow up seconds into the flight, and declare it a success.

Plan to refuel in orbit, make it minutes before the rocket brakes. Fire the FTS, it fails, the rocket blows up a minute later und declare it a successful test of the FTS.

Argue to NASA that you are not the limiting factor to the moon mission planed for the end of the year, despite delivering none of the milestones.

FTS = flight termination system

That's called R&D, Research and Development. As long as you learn from a failure, it is progress towards success.
