You need to stop thinking logically. Groups like this are only emboldened and their beliefs strengthened when events don't happen when they are expected to happen. If they were mentally stable they would shrug their shoulders, say welp guess it's not going to happen and go on with their lives, they aren't, so they don't, instead they double down on it and push the date out further or otherwise explain away the event not happening.
