Rob, I totally agree with you.
I also think maybe a case of " I thought you did?" "err, no I thought you did" and then hoping that by the time someone cottoned on you had retired, as has probably happened.
I have also heard that the original and only blue prints to build a Saturn V rocket were completely shredded and destroyed.
It sounds to me like NASAs early archival systems and those in charge were not up to scratch with the same level of technology that their machines and astronauts were.
