But if you were on the Pill and end up with a true oops pregnancy, this kind of emergency contraception wouldn't help. Sure, it's great for "I wasn't careful" kind of moments, but not for "my Pill, which I took as directed, failed" kind of moments.

No...I was talking about the "I know I screwed up and didn't take my pill or the condom popped or forgot I was taking antibiotics" kind of screw ups which are the most common kinds of birth control failures. The pill is over 99% effective if taken correctly which makes it VERY rare for those oops to happen.
