Well, you see, in the days before ``Faster, Better, Cheaper'',

Thus the program was abandoned to return to the glorious earlier track

Except that that is just simply incorrect. At worst the FBC probes to
Mars have been no better or worse from a reliability standpoint.
Overall, FBC probes that have been sent all around the Sol system have
at least a decent track record.
