miss is as good as a mile

The phrase "miss is as good as a mile" means that regardless of how close something or someone comes to achieving a goal or completing a task, if they ultimately fall short, it makes no difference because the result is the same as if they had missed by a much larger margin. In other words, the importance of being precise or accurate is emphasized, as even a small error or failure can have significant consequences.
