If there's one I've learned after being on the internet for 17 years, it's this; you can throw an entire mountain of evidence at a conspiracy theorist and they STILL won't believe you.
On the internet your identity is a collection of the opinions that you wrote under that name. So if you changing your opinion on anything you're changing your identity.
All the more difficult if you use your own name as your identity and you have acquired followers because of the opinions you've expressed.
