I legitimately thought it for several years as I wanted it to act as a restorative force in the US space industry against mismanagement. It 'deserved' to fail to 'punish' those responsible for it's mismanagement. That was my thinking for quite a few years. However now I think SpaceX is doing a better job of leading that charge by simply pushing the industry forward towards being a little less risk adverse and avoiding analysis paralysis. Carrot is always better than the stick, when it works.
