Truth is, all contractors rely on NASA data about Moon surface, and this data is not 100% reliable.
But some people trust NASA and others much more cautious and include bigger possible error margins in their models.
I mean, FF could just include much larger design margins, with less payload, so next time FF will optimize design and could also tip over.
But good news, IM next time could make larger margins and will also achieve 100% success.
