In terms of The importance of revision, Tharp says that We have to use our past failures in order to Avoid repeating our mistakes and failing again. Petroski, however, looks at it a bit differently, and instead of talking about using failure in our revision process, she instead suggests revising our good ideas to make them even better.
Tharp defines a few different types of failure: Failure of skill, failure of concept, failure of judgment, Failure of nerve and failure through repetition. Petroski, however, destined only one type of failure: Failure through disregarding criticism. In revision, failure is beneficial because it pushes us away from bad ideas or ideas that may not work out and towards something viable.
