It is ultimately up to the airlines to define what they view as a "failure" and they all do have very specific instructions. As I recall American and FedEx both broke up EOC rides separately from the letters of disapproval.
Just understand what the airline in question wants. Don't try to slip through the grey area... that's not the ethical philosophy they're looking for in a pilot (different if you're applying for management, they probably WANT to know you'll skirt the rules early and often).
Also what are you going to do if you checked no and they straight-up ask you to your face? These people are trained very well and you'd have to be a damn good liar to pull it off in front of an HR lady who's looking at your facial tells.
