If your goal is to hire a person or sell a product, yes. I think what the OP was saying is that they are a small part because of other ethical concerns. Like, the OP was saying that selling many units of snakeoil is a failure because it's a scam. Or hiring contractors and motivating them to work hard and then using fine print to screw them out of their profit sharing (e.g. Hollywood accounting) is a failure.
