there's a touch of the bigfoot conspiracy about it all, where even after the bloke admitted in a newspaper expose that he staged the whole thing with a fake big foot to leave prints, people kept believing in it
or www.bbc.com/future/article/20170809-the-accidental-invention-of-the-illuminati-conspiracy
Jones admitted under oath a few years early during a bitter divorce proceeding that his entire persona was an invention and he didn't believe any of the things he claimed. but instead of that being the end of him, people kept listening and believing his bullshit and his followers grew in number, because the kinds of people who believed it already are demonstrably very poor at determining what credibility to give information, including reliable evidence that they've been fed bullshit for years

Similar to the loch Ness monster
Chap who took the original photo admitted late in life and explained how it was a toy submarine modded with plasticine. None of the Nessie hunters believe him. Likewise the Wessex sceptics who made those crop circles. The more stupid and ridiculous the "woo" explanation, the less likely the enthusiasts are to change their minds when the hoax is admitted.
