I agree. NASA has hit the jackpot by using fixed-price contracts from vendors which don't have a legacy track record from the Apollo days.
The Cost-plus contracts have made them fat and lazy and somewhat remind me of that Bugs Bunny cartoon where the cats don't mind the mice emptying the fridge.
NASA is taking a small risk, but the rewards can, as SpaceX has demonstrated, be HUGE.
