You have to take the subjective statements out of the equation. AFAIK the mission had two objectives:

1. Loft Dragon into an orbit from which it can chase and catch the ISS.

2. Loft the Orbcomm test/demo payload into some orbit specified by the customer.

During the launch they lost an engine. They still achieved objective 1. They did not achieve objective 2. The most interesting thing to know will be why they didn't achieve objective 2.
