All news is good news even when it clearly isn’t; there is no such thing as “bad” news. The receipt of any outside information that’ll help inform future decision-making is beneficial, even when that information is the polar opposite of what you were hoping to hear. There is no “bad” news; every tidbit of knowledge you come across helps sculpt future decisions and that is intrinsically and inarguably a good thing.
