I don't buy that at all. If you read about Apollo, and before that, you'll see that simply this stuff is hard and many times you have things "half-assed" and just take the risk. Another case is the Space Shuttle..
With that said I think Boeing has been too unreliable for manned space flight. I don't trust much the "we're just taking time to gather more data" and this to me is the bad part about private companies: they have no compulsion to be truthful to the public.
