I'm just reminded of this debate about Alt-F4 in Touhou Genso Wanderer, a roguelike dungeon crawler. Dying in that game means restarting the dungeon from Floor 1. In someone's opinion, that's what creates a learning experience. In another's opinion, accidents happen, and forcing people to slog through the earlier parts just to go back to the point where the player died is still time better spent on anything else, and it's even worse if the death is due to factors outside of the player's control, especially if it's bad luck.
