The idea is that you are increasing your chance of injury because you've hit short term hypotrophy of the CNS/muscle.

"To failure" is a relative term. Someone who has lifting for a very long time knows their body very well. "To failure" some days might mean they don't even finish their warmup.

The reason I started this whole conversation was in response to the quote that failure is “until you can’t maintain perfect form”, which implies it's not a relative term.
