I remember this incident well. Ascribing this all to gender seems like too broad of a brush, and with very little evidence to back it up either. There were likely a multitude of motivations for people to write in and correct her, but isn't it natural for us to want to take someone down a peg when they are advertised as "all that" (in this case - smartest person alive), and they seem obviously wrong about something? This is a statistics problem that many people who have had statistics training have been wrong about. Seems like the setup for a perfect storm.
