A shutdown task can still succeed ?

It's a bit more than that. As Ron said, it is more like the "the scope 
computation is done". It interrupts unfinished threads and prevents new 
threads from starting. It also causes join to wakeup as the main task 
has no reason to wait any longer.  In general I think it would be an 
advanced usage to call shutdown from a task. It is clearer to call 
shutdown from the handler method, after the task with the result has 
completed.
