It's not their fault that everyone else defaulted.

I think you can if the unpopular VD self-promotions still win. I think that's still a defeat for the ideology the puppies claim to espouse - that left to their own devices, the majority of real fans will go for something more action-packed and politically conservative. You can't really prove that thesis if you don't leave the fans to their own devices.
It's kind of funny that their paranoid delusion that the Hugos were dominated by a clique and won by unpopular political works is pretty much definitely true of the Dragons.
