Maybe they should put it into a very very close orbit and wait for the micro gravity doing it's work. Maybe large harpoons tangling on sticks every side. It's easy for me to talk at this point, but it's their job to expect that surface. I don't think other comets passing closer by have better surfaces.

I'm following this mission almost from the beginning, amazed by the success despite Philae's short lived life on comet, and think the science aspect of it all is unbelievably great. But that landing moment made all the difference, and it failed to fix it on the surface, hence the criticism.

Would we consider Curiosity mission success if landing put it upside down?
