That's reasonable. I think being in the academic world, I don't see it as often because daily achievement isn't really rewarded -- it's all about individual output in the longer term (manuscripts, grants, etc. ), and every "failure" feels like a step away from having a completed manuscript, even when it's necessary. If anything, it's why a lot of academics tend to avoid the "fail fast" techniques, because at a daily level, it feels more productive to be working towards a solution (even if it is a waste of time) than shooting down potential solution after solution.
