Yes, I think you are right, that's the case - one's deep belief in that the solution is true, resulting from inability or unwillingness to critically assess it, combined with concern about priority.
Anyway, let me be fair and hope that that is not the case with Mr. Handlin's solution.
However, the announcement as it is made, rather disappoints me. It runs this way:
"...Handlin's solution—if verifiable—is a mind-blowing revelation..."
So they are not certain in whether this solution is verifiable or not. Now, what's the point in presenting a solution which is not verifiable??
