I don't see gameness in degrees. I do see everything listed as mismanagement or reasons one may quit. Still it takes away from a game dog to put it as degrees because of a situation or mismanagement. We do expect a lot of the dogs and experience shows us many mistakes but the classification is based on outcome. The choices, excuse, and opinion of what may have went wrong or caused a dog to quit is more subjective or plain we as humans blew it. In that case you have a choice to move forward with that individual in your program or not. We can't redefine gameness though our standards and decisions as humans will always vary IMO.
