Well, yes. That's the thing. Smart contracts work when they reflect the intent of the parties and fail when they don't. Here, the smart contract did not reflect the intent of the parties and so it failed. We have a legal system to fix such failures because it's unreasonable to expect every contract to be perfect and it would be foolish to make everyone who wants to enter into a contract bear the cost of ensuring the contract is perfect.
