Well, jeez. Someone better tell Mearls it's impossible for him to run his
4e Temple of Elemental Evil game, and remind him that he specifically designed the game to destroy the module he's running!

So, if 4e feels old school, and it has been (or so we've been told) designed to achieve the exact opposite results, 4e is a failure.

I think you, too, are falling into the assumption that there's only one definition or set of characteristics that define "old-school" play.
