I think you missed the point

My point is that the Shuttle program was so much
more expensive/pound launched and so limited in
performance, that we would have been better off
using the simpler, R&D paid-for, and extremely
reliable Apollo-like hardware than the
boondoggle that become the Shuttle program.

Thankfully, technology has advanced in the last
40 years, and NASA has finally figured out
(either through delayed enlightenment or fiscal
necessity) that simpler is better.
