I have seen such cases, not necessarily related to the language.
It can be exemplified (trivially) as follows:
Theorist: It was written by Mr.X
Answer 1: That's wrong because [I think that] it was written by Mr.Y
Answer 2: That's wrong because he lived in the wrong century.
The phrase [ I think that ] is one of the most omitted phrases in all of these discussions.
Obviously, the rejection in answer 1 is not stronger than the original statement, and cannot overthrow it.
Most evidence overthrowing proposed text solutions is not even understood by the challenged proponent, because they never bothered to read up on the earlier work.
Apologies for all the generalisations.
