Somethings more probable than a history eating monster, although not based on me looking at any data:
a) insurance fraud. (Yes, this trip is very risky, but it’s very lucrative if we succeed! Oh, no! Well insurance will cover it. Wait, they don’t? Uh… what if the ship didn’t go there? What if it went somewhere else, where it’s not our fault?) Issues: requires data showing that something is a bad idea, or stories.
b) Secrets are hidden by having people not go where they could find them. (May require centralized control, without alternatives; not too unlikely in this scenario, though.)
