That Durova's judgment was badly out is not in dispute; why look for
any other explanation?
You can't just brush aside people desire to check there isn't another,
the actually correct, explanation as sometimes god forbid what we're
told isn't necessarily the truth.
Convince people why the explanation given is the true one, and that that
one isn't trying to hide something. Just brushing away queries is only
going to lead to suspicions that something is being hidden and that they
should try even harder to look for a different explanation.
