How can their Salah even be accepted then?

You can find their evidence here: http://www.hilalcommittee.com/TOprayertimes.html

The thing is, you see flexibility and ease being their primary point. The idea put forward by them is if there is even a shadow of a doubt, we can err on the side of ease, rather than caution, which IMO throws the entire claim out the door. I thought we were supposed to leave doubtful matters and hence err on the side of caution? This point is certainly not addressed...

Furthermore, the calculations based upon 15° for Isha and 18° for Fajr have been empirically proven to be the safest. So, there are some Deobandi masajid that follow 15° for Isha and 18° for Fajr and there are those that don't.
