[The Simpsons] Lisa is upset with the scientist for not running tests on the "angel" but she herself hides the pirate history of Jebediah Springfield. How is this cromulent?

IIRC, didn't Lisa choose to hide Jebediah Springfield's unsavory past because she knew how much he meant to her town as its founding hero? She deliberately chose to let the people of Springfield keep their romantic idea of who Jebediah was, because he gave the town a sense of meaning and a positive example to try and follow. 

In contrast, the "angel" was just a *National Enquirer* style hoax that turned out to be a crappy marketing gimmick. 

Her objection in that instance was that the scientist chose to abandon his supposed principles of evaluating the world he lives in based on verifiable evidence, and instead just bought into the supernatural explanation without properly questioning it. Moreover, by buying into it, he gave it a veneer of legitimacy because the general public knows that scientists aren't supposed to outright confirm a belief without making certain that the belief is based in objective fact. 

I think these two situations are perfectly cromulent together. 

In the first scenario, Lisa made a moral decision to preserve Jebediah's reputation for the sake of her town's emotional well-being.

In the second scenario, she gets upset with a man of science who abandons the scientific method and by doing so fans the flames of superstition and irrationality among her fellow townspeople.
