That is factually incorrect. Indeed, some of McKay et al.'s most strident critics (e.g., McSween) are not "intransigent" on the issue of life on Mars at all; they take issue with the McKay et al. methodology, as well as evincing an inherent distrust in the apparent publicity-minded approach of the "pro-ALH84001" faction.
