> […] but how should we account for the sharply contrary opinions of Eisenhower and Leahy, as quoted above?

Their opinions / conclusion of the situation was wrong.

Just because they executed well in one area, does not mean they assessment in another area was as good. No one's perfect.

That's not an accounting. It is merely a dismissal.

They were wrong, so the accounting value of their assessment / opinion is zero.

If something has no value, why shouldn't it be dismissed / disposed of?
