There is nothing meaningful in calling a person hypocritical. It has literally no impact on the validity of their claims.

Their current claims, no. But it calls into question the validity of their previous actions which they are now contradicting.
I'm not commenting on which of the two situations is right (perhaps neither is), if railing against the "one rule for you, one rule for us" thing.

I didn't say they had to apply their own code to themselves to not be completely hypercrits - the other option (as I have already explicitly stated) is to modify their practises to account for their new found enlightenment.
