They've been losing their shit all morning, lol. Turns out that none of that shit was true and a whole bunch of people are the laughingstock of their families.
I wouldn't rule them out so thoroughly. Each bizarre predictions failure lead to a requirement of an even more bizarre set of (asserted) circumstances in order to explain it and propagate the next.
From the outside, it looks like a complete shutdown of critical thinking, but from the inside it's right on the money and an example of how we actually employ critical thinking. It would be bizarre if your foot was on fire and you didn't know it - and if that were a true state of affairs, the explanation for why you didn't know it would be even more bizarre than not knowing it was.
