I fail way more to be extra sure I max out

So what does it mean that I fail 75% of the time?

So... to maximize learning about the optimal failure rate, you should fail to fail 15% of the time, 15% of the time?

You should only do that 15% of the time. Except 15% of the time when you should fail to even that.

point of the article is if you fail only 15% of the time you should consider more challenging tasks
