Yes, and by "right" is meant their accusation that MBH is wrong, not that
MM got their climate reconstruction right since they don't even believe

Sure, I still encounter creationists who bring up the Piltdown man as
evidence that evolution is a fraud. Should MBH be wrong I'm sure there will
be people who bring it up for decades as example of how the entire field of  
climate science is worthless, which is why the debate gets so emotional.
