It's just the usual scorn for any published research that indicates 
their dearly cherished prejudices may be wrong. Look at the tricycle 
guy. He claims all research is biased, because in his view nobody would 
ever do research unless they could make money off of its results. Look 
at Tom, who still claims stocks lost great value during Obama's 
presidency, even though few things are as easy to document as stock prices.

Their strategy matches the first two of these monkeys:

Unfortunately, they don't emulate the third monkey.
