"Following this simple rule can save a you a world of hurt in injury time later in your training years."

Yes and usign bad form (back arches etc) are also not working the muscle group effectively and for the most part will not do the lifter much good. Failure can be done in a 1RM as well as a 10RM and many novice lifters do not realize this and belive that failure is soley 1RM. I personally like to hit a set of 1RM now and then to test my overall stregnth and recovery ability (I log my rest intervals). Lifitng to failure is like you said, unable to lift the weight again.
