I've been tricked many times into thinking I was about to be eating squash only to come out the next evening to find my prize shriveled and dead.

As far as partial pollination, I have no clue. These are just my anecdotal evidences.

I may be totally wrong, but I would guess that if the blossom was partially the fruit would grow, but have fewer seeds? Just a shot in the dark, because I have no evidence or experience. Someone else will have to chime in.
