I understand the obsession to "explain away" these deserters, but
honesty over bias needs to be the ruling objective not excuses.

 
No, there's nothing to explain away.  There will always be crackpots
amidst the more reasonable background of mainstream science.

You call them crackpots, but as I pointed out they are just as educated
with the same credentials as mainstream scientist. The question is what
are your credentials to pass judgement on these intellectuals including
scientist holding PhDs. Probably nothing more than extreme bias.

No, a PhD is not a license to believe in nonsense, although some
people act like it is.  You've made the error of argument from
authority here, since even PhDs can easily get things wrong.
