この点について、マッシモ・ポリドロ(Massimo Polidoro)は、次のように書いた、「ウィリアム・ホープと彼のクルー・サークルの事例は、それは、だれか納得のゆく反証を前にしてさえ信じたがる人を納得させようとするのは事実上、不可能（で無益）だということを示しているから、こんにち記憶に値する」("the case of William Hope and his Crewe Circle deserves to be remembered today because it shows that it is practically impossible (and futile) to try to convince someone who wants to believe even in the face of quite convincing contrary evidence")。
