However he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed to begin with. Failures are ok but they may look at it like you gave up on it. Bad Juju...

I may or may not be right but thought I would add another perspective.
I would kindda have to agree with this, because I think it would look worse to have failed and not retried than to have failed and tried again and passed. But, then again that is just my 2 cents...
