That would always constitute a failure, as a creepage failure is not a
defined discharge as with clearance, but more a leakage current

*will* be a leakage current.
I don't see the point you are making. The whole idea is that the
pollution becomes a conductive substance even if it didn't start as
other than a rather poor insulator (there must be some initial current,
even if it's picoamps).
