Many fields of study capture important information about failure.
Regulators are thinking of making drug companies share both negative and positive results from drug tests.
In our teaching we've seen the value of emphasizing what things are not, as much as what they are.
For example, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses are never money. Assets alone can be.
