In all fairness,
1. this is probably not the only reason you failed (they generally dont fail people for such things alone)
2. its not really a good example, it can be completely reasonable to take off below min FPL TOF, thats what Contingency Fuel is there for, whether you burn it on the ground or in the air doesn’t matter.
