Unfortunately, there is an unwritten rule about gadlfies that they must never back down and give any credit (even when the entire rest of the world realizes it is due) because doing so is seen as a "softening" of their position.
One of the many things I do in my life is public transportation advocacy, and I see this all the time. The people who have a beef with a transit agency will continue to hammer away, even when said agency makes moves toward correcting whatever the beef is about. Issuing press releases that ignore reality in favor of maintaining the gadfly organization's tone is the standard modus operandi. This press release by FAIR is no different, in my observation.
