I have observed that creationists often hold interesting standards of evidence. Despite extensive fossil and DNA records and observations of multiple events, including speciation, many creationists still claim that evolution is naught but speculation, with no "proven" details supporting it. However, when a find that someone speculates may be Noah's ark or, in another case, it is suggested that the speed of light might be slowing down, they take it as absolute proof that they have been correct in their beliefs all along.
This of course is not a trait universal to creationists, and I cannot even say with certainty that it is a common behavior amongst most of them, but I have observed it within enough creationists to see that it is more than an isolated case.

It's exceedingly common. You have to be doing some very funny mental gymnastics to be a YEC in the face of the evidence today. What you have observed is part of how they do it.
