One other factor to consider is that if you're close to reaching your goal, it might make sense to fund yourself just to get access to the contributions thus far. So if you're at 90% of your goal, you kick in the difference of 10%, pay the fee (5%), and get access to the 90% that people kicked in. So if you're close, it makes sense to pay... which probably eliminates all 80-99% funded failed projects.
