I've recently been in a situation where it was assumed that those accusing me were absolutely correct, so no one bothered to even ask for my side of the story. Extremely frustrating! In these cases, bitterness and unforgiveness are the true enemies; fight them off, and you will have won, regardless of what happens in the "actual" situation. Be strong and courageous!

I think you may have missed one thing: if she loses she DOES stand to lose something:

1} her oven knowledge/assurance that she is right.

2) more plausibly, she would give us a legitimately recognized authority who doubts her narrative, and can thus can be used to debunk her lies to her own supporters. (Since she is the one who invoked the authority, she can't allege they shouldn't be listened to).

If she wins she only gains more justification for her fantasy. Perhaps she isn't as confident of herself as she appears
