History will show whether the CIA provided advanced warning or failed again. Either way it has been a Keystone Cops situation.
We still have no idea what was said in this rumored phone call, or to what extent the rumored call was responsible for a change in Russian plans. Given that lack of knowledge I can't see how the incident can be used as a basis for a conclusion, unless of course you've already reached the conclusion.
