The intuition that "fail" is a negative word is thus well-founded in standard usage.
That's not the same thing as "fail" being a negative word in the sense meant by "double negative".
So what? This whole exercise is about human psychology. If it were just a matter of defining things and we're done, it wouldn't matter how many identifiers we use or how they're spelled, right?
You should treat those perceptions with respect when writing this kind of PEP, not deny them outright.
