That is not a reliable excuse. 700 boxes are "lost": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11_missing_tapes#Search_for_the_missing_tapes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11_missing_tapes#Search... Other remaining copies are missing. The people involved on the mission cannot fathom themselves that the tapes were overwritten/reused, reason why these same space engineers organized the search themselves. It is more likely the tapes are archived somewhere out of public reach. Or worse, are today part of a private museum for some rich elite.
