That’s absolutely fair. The point I’m trying to make is that it’s not about publishable results either way. Like, yes, I’d like to ship useful information to the outside world, but that’s a distant second priority to making good things happen on the ground.
What I do commit to is not making the choice to publish based on whether things are good or bad. I commit to publishing if and only if a) I have spare time and cycles, and b) there’s something useful for others to hear.
The only way there would be nothing useful to learn is if there was a complete failure due to circumstances outside of the influence of anyone involved, such as an earthquake that halted the plan. Even then a quick note to that effect would be of use.
