[Star Wars] in A New Hope, why were the Admirals so dismissive of The Force?

In the scene where the Admirals were discussing what course of action to take after the Death Star plans were stolen, why did they so easily dismiss Darth Vader's statement about the power of The Force? They were so patronising to him by referring to him as a "sorcerer" when there are extensive records of his extraordinary feats using The Force in combat and most of them likely served under Jedi before the formation of the Empire that have also likely engaged in extraordinary feats using The Force. Also, it probably wasn't the first time that they've seen him Force Choke a guy out right in front of them, so you'd think they would know not to piss him off.

Vader did kind of antagonize them. The admirals weren’t just insulting Vader randomly. Vader outright said that the Death Star, the most powerful weapon in history, which many of them have dedicated their entire careers either to building it or fighting to get a posting on it, is irrelevant compared to Vader’s ability to lift rocks and swing a laser sword. Of course they’re going to react badly.
