Let's exegete Genesis 9:8-11

Modern day Young Earth Creationists
There is one thing I admire most about this group: They are absolutely committed to Honoring God’s Word above all else. Some even say to a fault (numerous times their statements of faith, or hiring agreements are mentioned, showing just how much they uphold scripture above scientific consensus).

That does not seem to be true. I quoted this earlier but it bears repeating:

@Paul_King

As we began research for our book, Righting America at the Creation Museum, we assumed that we would find lots of Bible at the museum. And in one sense, there is indeed some Bible, or better, there are many little snippets of Bible. But as we looked closely at the museum’s ubiquitous placards – and here we had the assistance of a very bright doctoral student – we discovered an inconsistent use of translations, extraordinarily creative editing of biblical passages, a lack of ellipses to indicate where text (sometimes whole verses) had been removed from a passage, and the failure to provide relevant context for the passages that are displayed

It seems to me that YECs are dedicated to interpreting the Bible on the assumption that it teaches YEC - and all the care goes into forcing the text to fit.
