Yeah, a lot of the fun about the Tau is realizing that it's incredibly easy for the Imperium to frame a loss as a win just by re-phrasing the context.
Honestly it kinda makes me wonder if that's how the Imperium reacts in-setting as well. It would seem incredibly in-character for the Imperium to categorize a Forge World's strategic value as absolute, and then after losing it say "Well we didn't even care about that world anyways."
