Everybody has faults. We all get stuff wrong. And if these guys just got stuff wrong, that's not a big deal.
What I have a bigger problem with is sticking to what you got wrong after you should very well know that you got it wrong. This is a psychological sunk-cost fallacy though. Once you make statements publicly, people tend to stick to them and defend them even after they should have admitted fault and moved on.
All of these characters have gone WAY too far with ideas and narratives that are bunk and can't turn the ship around.
Eric should have long ago realized that his theory either wasn't great, or that he doesn't have what it takes to refine it to the level it needs to be considered by working physicists. Instead he blames and bad mouths the field.
