@jl2012 This is in the 'examples' section, and the code snippets are full scripts. You're right that there is a distinction between fails and returns false, but only for individual opcodes. For the whole script, the outcome is just true or false.
Perhaps some clarification is useful, but I think this change is just adding confusion.
