I guess you could call it an article of faith.

As to survival value, we have less chance of surviving if all
our eggs are in the same basket.

I agree with that as far as it goes. What I dispute is the
underlying assumption that it is possible to create additional
"baskets". This *may* be possible but it is not established fact.

This is the real "article of faith" that most space advocates
share.
