Which is exactly the point of the OP and its link. This is really about keeping those that disagree with the governments agenda from messing up their urgent need to act immediately (by increasing government control?) based on "accepted science". It is clearly not about stopping all lying or even all that disagree with "accepted science".
I didn't get that from the OP which I think didn't establish motive but rather focused on the chilling effect. I would give pretty good odds though that the primary agenda involved is the plaintiffs' intention to keep all that lovely grant money flowing to them.
