Look at the NASA budget for that period, if there is a heading for
"advanced devlopment" there is a program.

This is in many ways an argument about syntax.

A "program" doesn't necessarily mean a consistent, well-thought out project
or real focus.
i.e. yes, money was spent. Yes, people were paid. But there wasn't a real
focus or even goal.
So stuff like AAP had a lot of hand-waving and goals, but unlike "Land a man
on the moon and return him safely..." no real focus or ultimate goal.
