Oly I'd say Falures and Fumbles shouldn't succeed by 0 levels, but fail.Two people can both fail to achienve the gaol.

Wildcard Blackjack? As is the usual fate of analogies they break down as you make finer comparisons. But at that point you have gone past what an analogy is supposed to do anyway which is to help understand how something works by comparing it to something else in the audience's experience. Exeptions, additions, deletions, provisos, caveats, and quid pro quos come free.
