You mean because of this:
'Not buy launches of anything. Just say, "we'll pay a million dollars per launch of a vehicle that can deliver five thousand pounds of payload to low earth orbit (that would translate to two hundred dollars a pound, which would be a huge improvement over the status quo). We will buy ten thousand such flights, for a total of ten billion dollars." '

I would have to agree. My idea is better. But at least I realize that my idea is radical. His idea is more extreme and wouldn't work.
My idea: govt buy water test payloads. Price 500 per lb of water deliveried to orbit. Government buys 100-200 tons of water. Cost: 100-200 million plus administeration cost- 10 million or so. My idea is nearly foolproof- though I'm sure if NASA tried really hard they wreck it:).
