See my edit where I clarify a bit of why it is a scandal....the scientific responce to the divergence should not be to ignore and hide it...it should be to attempt to explain it. That he made no attempt on that front is....beyond odd.... Remember that it was/is literally his job to understand what the data is saying and to explain it as best he can. That goal was clearly not in his mind or his first reaction would not have been to employ a "trick" that he knew would make the discrepency vanish.
As for it not indicating a conspiracy about AGW...I agree actually and have said as much in the postscript of my first post in this thread.
