Debating total cost depends almost entirely on the particular grid in question. For all we know, those "nuclear fans'" estimates could be spot-on but completely irrelevant to you.
Suppose that the eventual production vehicle has a fairly different design, a different name, and it succeeds on its first flight. Would it then have used the same methodology that resulted in Falcon 9?
I'm only asking rhetorically. The Ship of Theseus is an interesting philosophical question, but the way you define "methodology" shouldn't depend on your answer.
