“pretends that the new theory predicted the results and thereby confirms it” is arguably in the neighborhood of lying.

I agree that if someone I knew to be otherwise sensible had said this quote I would have asked them what they meant - but I still would have been taken aback. (It's also tough to call for charity when you just responded aggressively to me because you felt "a bit of a weirdness")
-
Honestly, I get it if you don't like my personality or tone. But it's irrelevant to what I think we're discussing, unless you want to do an open review of my conduct, which obviously you are free to do. Modellers are a tiny minority in psychology, so yeah, I'm gonna "punch up".

You're not punching up! You're defending a powerful old guy in your field against a random on twitter!
-
He doesn't need me to defend him. AT ALL. I am defending myself because his ideas are valuable and helpful to me.
-
As are for me and for many other experimental and computational psychologists.
-
Yup, and as I said above, we're a tiny minority. In fact, we're often the butt of non-modeller's jokes. I've heard so many divergent negative views of us. Including in side-threads and in general on Twitter where people hint that we're not even in the same field.
