    Success does not teach the lessons needed that come from a failure.

    True. Did anyone ever compile how many rockets NASA lost on or just over the pad during launch over the years? More than a few in the early years.

    Even though it was vectoring, the engine did not look right at the top of that rotation. Too much sputtering.

    Musk tweeted that the header tank pressure was too low leading to insufficient thrust for landing.
