Low-salt emperor ...

Can you begin to imagine how frustrated the researchers who openly questioned the low- salt dogma have been? They’d been proving that the low- salt emperor had no clothes for decades, but still, their voices went unheard. They knew that salt does not raise blood pressure in most of the population.

--- Does it mean, figuratively, that for decades they were trying to prove that the emperor who advocated low salt intake had no clothes?
