Misallocation Of Safety Resources?
Jon Goff has an interesting flight safety analysis that might indicate that NASA is spending too much money on launch vehicle reliability for a lunar program.

One overemphasizes launcher reliability so that a mission failure doesn't occur live, on television, with lots of fiery graphics.
A mission failure due to lunar ascent won't make it on broadcast TV.
We can all agree that IF my assertion reflects NASA thinking, then they don't understand YouTube.
However, bureaucratic a$$ covering can explain the overemphasis on launcher reliability.
