One guess might be that stronger criticism might be avoided until a more thorough analysis/a replication attempt might be made. That reduces the possibility that something is misunderstood, and ensures strong claims ("this is absolute nonsense") have good evidence ("because the statistical tests they use are not appropriate for this data", or "because the method they claim to use does not produce their claimed results").
Curious if this is ever going to see a thorough debunking.
