but... in this story Grandma's the hero and the one that gets it, right? So this Grandma doesn't "get thrown under the bus".

  Well, the author unknowingly does: his grandmother mistakes the assignment operator for the equivalence operator.

    Actually, he points out his grandmother is well ahead of you fools since she has an intuitive understanding of immutable data structures and is distraught that one would modify state in-place like that. In her head she probably thought, "hmm that's what the state monad is for" or something like "yeah that'll get you in trouble when you make your code multi-threaded".
