Glorious and Force Z as strategic defeats

Which was the worse Royal Navy defeat: the loss of HMS Glorious or the loss of Force Z?

Force Z was worse because its two capital ships were lost through an avoidable strategic deployment with less excuse.

Force Z is judged the worse defeat because it cost two potentially useful capital ships through poor strategic positioning. Glorious's loss is attributed to operational mistakes and the belief that the immediate fighting had ended. That belief offers an explanation for the complacency, even though it does not excuse the loss. The Force Z deployment is treated as harder to justify.
