How many failures did they just make disappear?
Even if we ignore the blatant "chinaman bad", this doesn't make any sense. Why would they disappear people? This would still be a great outcome for them even with 80% success rate or something. The only difference between 80% and 100% is a tiny bit of nerd cred in recreational science communities. Even the logistical effort of "disappearing" people, while keeping everyone quiet about it, is clearly not worth the benefit here, let alone the potential international scandal.
