That image above was as close as they got. You would think they might go over and take a look. I believe that if anyone was suited up on the Mars surface with me we would go over and take a look. There is no way to pass up such a juicy target, it is just a few feet away, NOT NASA.
They passed a closer look up to go look at another rock. This goes against human nature and logic. I can understand why people might thing NASA was being less than totally honest.

The flaw in your argument is the assumption that NASA scientists would come to the same conclusion as you. If they didn't see it as an indication of liquid surface water, or interesting in some other way, they would have no reason to investigate it.
