The problem is, Corriea and Torgersen really want Hugos. If they didn't, none of this bullshit would be happening.
But yes, cuddling up to VD is like spooning with a porcupine, and three or four years of not handing out awards will greatly dent the value of a Hugo. (One or two years is survivable.) Torgersen's finally figured out that VD's goal is to torch the Hugos, and from reading his own comment threads some of Sad Puppies are bringing matches and gasoline.
Unfortunately, neither man can say "I was wrong." They just can't.
