No, your inability to admit the contract to sell 40 million dollars worth of silk was a failure is your lack of credibility.
Spin it anyway you want but you are wrong.

You don't sign a contract to sell 40 million dollars worth of product unless you know you can deliver.
Kim wasn't able to deliver anything towards the contract. It was a failure.
