If the High Seas Fleet inflicted greater loses on the British Home Fleet and suffered less loses itself then it would be a victory. It needs to be brought to everyone's attention that there would be a political effect to the German's destruction of so many capital ships. It might have caused the people to question the war and possibly have brought down the government of the United Kingdom.
Remember war is not only a military but a political struggle.
