It appears from what you are saying that you attempted to do this on someone else's network, which is illegal.
Feel free to correct this impression if it's wrong.

That remains to be seen. You failed at an attempt to break into a WLAN. Period.
Your failure may be due to several factors. If you where doing this on a network you owned and/or controlled, then those factors would be known. As it is, it could be several different things from your conclusion (an AP which resists packet injection) ranging to your own incompetence. As it is the factors are either unknown, or unstated by you.

It isn't a question about "covering our asses", it is a question about promoting illegal activities.
We are very interested in learning about new or unknown vulnerabilities, but it has to be done properly and ethically. That means doing things under controlled conditions on WLANs that we own or at least have permission to access and experiment on. It doesn't mean going out and committing crimes as part of the experimentation.
