Unfortunately, that is their thought process. I find it hard to believe Rob, Russ, etc actually genuinely have never heard of ML, but everything they ever say on the issue suggests that is the case. And when people keep showing them "hey look, this problem was solved 30 years ago!" they just outright ignore them and don't acknowledge it.
