A book doesn't stop you from reading if one is too stupid to understand what it means. One just keeps reading for no benefit.
Not being able to progress because a game is too hard doesn't stop you from playing the rest of the game in front of it. Heck, in both cases you'll probably get 'BETTER' and hopefully be able to continue onward.

I think companies and players drastically oversell how much they fear even slight and harmless failure. Failure is the greatest tool to help one improve.
