I mean, let's be rational for a second... She just got out of a guided tour, would she really be so completely braindead to be 180 degrees wrong on what had just been explained to her? I think her response was inarticulate, but I don't think it was completely inaccurate.
That's a very generous interpretation by the professor, one that sums the inarticulate quote by Palin and takes the various things that could have been accurate if she had spoken more articulately and mentally rearranges them into something that makes sense.

He certainly didn't warn the British regulars by ringing bells. It seems she just regurgitated a jumble of half-remembered events while trying to work in a political point.
