A minor setback is having to curtail the flight due to a faulty reading on a pressure gauge or a minor power issue with the engine.

A nosedive landing that damages the cabin in perfect flying conditions is about the very worst thing that can happen on an aircraft test programme, even if the flight crew walk away

I'm just saying, a crash that would be a disaster in a regular flight can be "not bad, we learned something here" for a new design on its second test flight.
