By asking this question, though, you're denying the totality of Scripture which says absolutely nothing God determines to accomplish will be thwarted. (i.e. of course we shouldn't think that. To do so is to ignore Scripture)

Just trying to clear up what you mean by "Failed interpretation is not due to to the Holy Spirit, but the hearts of men." in the context of this discussion about the role of the H.S. in interpretation.
