I read your thoughtful discussion of Collier's points and
they do point to the conclusion along with the decision made
after the disasters and supposedly because of them, to stop such
manned missions.
Opponents of the hoax view are the ones that sound like cranks
an crackpots.
Maybe I too am just trying to be politically correct. I like
to think that it was not a complete hoax, that unmanned missions
were made to retrieve moon rocks as
in the ussr case, and that other good science and aeronautic and
communications techniques came out of this 30billion dollar
effort.
