Not necessarily.  The point of the failure clause is essentially, "If you choose to pass this prop, then this will happen.  If you choose to fail it, this will happen instead."  The ruleset doesn't preclude the latter portion of that statement, but the ruleset does allow things that are not otherwise prohibited.  It is legal.  Whether it is ethical or proper is the question -- not that either quality is important in Nomic.
