I think you are right, they don't want to admit that they have dismissed credible evidence because it doesn't fit their prior beliefs.
Scientists generally enjoy being proved wrong or that their conclusions are wrong or there is another way, it gives them more to think about and test and improve.

What is the problem with being wrong? You (and all of us) can now get better results and conclusions as a result. Dismissing evidence because it doesn't fit your prior beliefs is not scientific, and is a disservice to the community here.
