"In short, I get the impression that SBM's goal is to "prove" whatever is the conventional practice of the present moment, and if newer legitimate research comes along, it should be ignored, debunked, and resisted for as long as possible. "
Just the reverse. Bring on new ideas and developments. But bring along the evidence to support them. My background is Medical Statistics (retired, now posting on DU 
) and my approach was always "Show me the evidence".
Evidence! Evidence! Evidence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is new research bullshit? Is it actually research or is it some guy claiming his magic water will enable you to levitate, Then, yeah, ignore, debunk and resist!!
Do doctors ever get it wrong, are too slow, misinterpret...? Of course they do and have done and still will. Some of them are human beings!
I'm very interested in your comments on Dr Esselstyn. I'll have a look on PUBMED tomorrow - it's past my bedtime here in The Netherlands.
