My Opposition to False Victories in Stories

In my past episode, I talked about how I do not like false victories. Maybe this is just my own preference. Every writer has certain things they enjoy. Every writer has their own quirks and idiosyncrasies, and though I do not want to admit it, I am subjective (there, the truth is finally out). But I think that taking a look at any aspect of writing to see what is going on with it is important. I think false victories are something we should look at. Are they good? Should we include them in our stories? Do they even fit into what a story is?
My answer, if you cannot tell from the title of this episode, is no for all three of these. I do not say this without reason.
