There was probably reluctance to accept it as true because he's a VC recipient. One of the only seven living recipients in the world. These guys are meant to all be heroes. And what this dude did in 2011 was heroic. It's just that he (allegedly) did stuff after that date that we don't want to believe a hero is capable of.
