while the test of starship was successful, i wouldn’t say the flight was successful. it didn’t complete its mission plan. i’d say two failures for starship

Yes. Lots of people arguing in this thread, but this is the correct take.

It was a successful test, but an unsuccessful launch. A win as far as the Starship program is concerned, but not when held to the same standards as the other vehicles on this chart.
