The only answer I can reach is that they are acting in bad faith. I'm still waiting for evidence to the contrary.

I have proposed an alternative. Stupidity. Incompetence. There more evidence of that there is evidence of bad faith. You provide evidence of error. You provide no evidence of motivation, i.e. bad faith. Asking others to meet a standard of proof you have not met makes no sense and is erecting a straw man. Most probably, the authors do not substantially agree with your analysis. That may make them wrong. It does not make them operating in "bad faith".
