This is important to determine that the failure of adherents is because of not following a philosophy despite understanding or because of having the wrong interpretation of it. Once it is determined, this is important to determine what difference following or rightly following a philosophy would make in the lives of its adherents, if adherents would have been much better-off in spiritual and material sense so in either case, philosophy is conclusively right, good and noble otherwise not. 

This is important to determine that the success of adherents is because of not following a philosophy despite understanding or because of having the wrong interpretation of it. Once it is determined, this is important to determine what difference following or rightly following a philosophy would make in the lives of its adherents, if adherents would have been much better-off, so philosophy is conclusively right, good and noble. If adherents would have been worse-off, so philosophy is conclusively wrong, bad and ignoble.  

This is important to determine that the success of adherents is because of not following a philosophy because of understanding it. Once it is determined, this is important to determine that followers are right in thinking that they will not succeed if they follow a philosophy. It is, hence, important to determine what difference following would make in the lives of its adherents, if adherents would have been much better-off so adherents are wrong in thinking and if worse off so right in thinking. 

 We say, if adherents do not practice what they believe and fail or succeed, it is a failure or a success of adherents, not a failure or a success of a philosophy. If adherents practice what they wrongly believe, and fail or succeed, it is the failure or the success of adherent not the failure or the success of a philosophy.

We further say, if adherents do not practice what they believe, or practice what they wrongly believe, but succeed in terms of material gains and possess good functional morality; it is the failure of a philosophy, but the success of its adherents. In the first case,  It is the failure of a philosophy in a sense that followers believe that they cannot succeed if they practice their philosophy. In the second case, it is the failure of a philosophy in a sense that followers succeed by following its wrong interpretation and might have been ruined if they rightly followed a philosophy. There is, however, always a possibility that adherents would have much more success if they practiced what they believed or practiced by rightly believing philosophy.
