   This is correctly trying to prove that failing to keep a promise was not wrong. We just need the evidence to either establish that the other party in this broken promise was not harmed, or we need the evidence to establish that at least one person (not-all) who discovered the promise was broken did not lose faith in the promise-breaker. This actually gives us both of those ideas, somewhat. Carlo broke his promise to Miriam. But she does not seemed harmed (she didn't need this money). And she also didn't lose confidence in his ability to keep promises (so it's true that "not all who discover the broken promise lose confidence in the promise-breaker").
