Something positive about the failure to separate:
It's amazing that the first and second stages held together through a number of rotations. You've got to figure the forces pulling at them were incredible.
Maybe- one way to look at engineering is the successful prediction of failure modes.
If it wasn't supposed to do that, then the strength might be physically impressive and amazing, but that doesn't necessarily make it a positive thing from an engineering perspective.
Sometimes things intentionally breaking are just as important as things intentionally not-breaking.
