:-)
Emacs tries to make a lot of things possible. It also tries to prevent
bad things, but it tends to be pretty conservative in this respect since
the two goals are in conflict.
To the extent that your problem prevented you from using Emacs but
did not make you lose work (presumably), then I'd consider that the
efforts we make to "prevent bad things" were successful.
Maybe not a resounding success, admittedly.
