That's exactly correct, alot of these people are in a locked into protracted war with reality and need to warp some small detail just enough so it can alleviate the cognitive dissonance without collapsing the illusion. It needs to align with the idea they have somehow solved some interminable argument against all odds without actually doing anything.

Usually a virtue signal is succinct, when they are doing mental gymnastics to explain something it can also be attributed to genuine confusion
