Going against the evidence when there's a massive amount of evidence is at best deeply irrational and counterproductive. I don't know if "stupid" is a better term because it has connotations of issues with intelligence, but in the context of "reversed stupidity is not intelligence" it applies just as well in the form "reversed irrationality is not rationality".
Either way works, but it's irrelevant unless said "massive amounts of evidence" exist, which I am skeptical of.
