And everyone who knows history knows that the Saturn V was successful
because von Braun didn't believe the initial weight estimates for the LEM
and the CSM and quietly included a lot of extra margin in the design. As it
was, Apollo 10 still wasn't light enough to safely land on the moon.

I don't see that happening with Ares I/Orion. Both of them are at the
ragged edge in terms of payload/mass. Unfortunately, extra mass is often a
side effect of solving problems.
