I think it is still not the same. If I have break my computer, then
surely {my ba'o pofygau le mi skami}, but not necessary {le mi skami
cu ca ca'a spofu} - it may be repaired thereafter.

I am not sure, whether {ba'o broda} implies success or not, but even
if it does, success may be undone shortly thereafter.
