Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.

Comment: As far as we're aware, this is the first time such a thing has been witnessed, in the modern era at least.
While 'warm air-cold air exchange' and high winds might have something to do with it, we suspect this is evidence that tornadoes (and other air spirals) are electrical phenomena in which the fundamental exchange is electrical discharge between the highly charged pyroclastic cloud (in this case) and a relatively negatively charged surface. That would also explain why we see lightning during volcanic eruptions, as happened at Sinabung in an earlier eruption:

The important question is: why are volcanoes now demonstrating more electrical activity?
