The intercept didn't fail though. Taihou still sunk but one torp was stopped from reaching taihou. Wikipedia says the torpedo detonated early. Maybe that means the plane stopped it, maybe not. If they were Mark 14 torpedoes, premature detonation wasn't unheard of. That particular page isn't too helpful in determining what exactly happened.
