I think it's either the sunk cost fallacy: They have invested so much emotion over the years that they dare not let go.
Or more likely it's just just plain embarrassment: They know they've been shafted but dare not admit as much, not openly anyway.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
