Yes.
But it also gives you the experience and knowledge you need to come back and try again. Knowing the roads, the feeling of it helps a lot.
I’d argue that you need it mentally, having finished is huge. Coming back knowing you can finish gives you strength. It helped me.

come back and try again
After two failed attempts I'd be very surprised if he tries it again.
he's clearly a decent rider but not quite at that level.If he really wants to do it I think he would be better doing a couple of years of TTing, 12s and 24s, and aerocoach stuff, to optimise his setup first. He could probably find 1mph.

True, but mentally that's a tough ask.
