I think we need to remember that any so-called experts on any type of car probably never worked at the plants when they were built. Their knowledge is accumulated from viewing lots of original cars and taking diligent notes. Their knowledge tends to reflect typical production. When an anomaly comes along, they need to be open minded and willing to learn that some strange things do happen at the plants that do not conform to what might be expected.
As an "expert", they must be open to learning new things, rather than feeling they already "know it all". There's a big difference between 30 years experience and one years experience 30 times.
