Would faulty British shells still penetrate at close range?

Would British shells detonating prematurely on impact undermine their advantage in a much closer Jutland engagement?

At such close range the shells would probably still penetrate, with the British favored in daylight but massive losses expected on both sides.

The follow-up challenges the British advantage by pointing to shells that detonated prematurely on impact. At the proposed close ranges, they would probably still penetrate. Daylight identification would further favor the British fleet. The answer nevertheless expects massive losses on both sides, so the advantage does not imply an inexpensive victory.
