I think it's simpler than that: institutional bias.  The Gehman Board
was composed largely of people from Big Government.  They don't see
anything wrong in the idea of having a single, government-run space
program.  They really believe NASA can solve its problems and keep
flying.  Reading between the lines, I'm not sure they all believe NASA
-will- solve its problems...but they all believe in NASA as a concept.
