I'm slightly more skeptical about EmDrive than optimistic, however, you are right: if someone has to distort the truth in order to make a point it might be time that they question their standpoint on a matter. This looks like a lot of opinions about science. Which is a logical contradiction. An opinion has absolutely no sway in determining whether or not the device works. Opinions have nothing to do with science.
The device will either be shown to work or not to work with additional experiments and nothing anyone says regarding how it can or can't work will change that.
