To foster your point, I quote a comment from another post on HN now

> And the whole reason for the hydrogen burning [by SLS' engines] was to keep the space shuttle contractors jobs. Once again it's not a technical reason but a pork barrel one.

That doesn't mean you can't analyze if a specific technical decision was made primarily on technical grounds/merit or if it is mostly a political one without a technical basis.
