Is there ever a good loss at a World Championship?

Ps If you look at the opponent Ravi played, in a tournament in June he lost to a 2500 player, but scored 6/9 including draws against opponents rated 2322 and 2462 and a win against a 2462.

Looking at the game in my view it was full of inaccuracies; Akshaya was clearly better in the early middle game then drifted into a worse position where Black horribly blundered into the lost position, then Akshaya missed numerous chances to finish it off a lot earlier, then came the final error leading into the RvN endgame
