I think it is good to view these ideas in context. "Failure" here is failure to meet the standard required to pass through a particular gate.
If perfection is the standard for loving thy neighbor, IMHO everyone on earth has failed. If for no other reason than it is impossible to do (or be) all things for all people all of the time. Again IMO, saying that humans are imperfect is more a fact than an admission of guilt or wrongdoing; we have all failed, under the current definition.
So, on to the third gate!
