Maybe she was going on memory.  I once gave a paraphrased summary
of a discussion that I thought was Rene Guenon when it turned out
to have been Sayyid Hosein Nasr.  And from memory, I once saw
Herbert Guenther give what he thought was a nice illuminating
summary of a Mahamudra Shastra.  Someone in the audience pointed
out that he was really quoting a summarized account of Mahamudra
given by Lama Govinda.  He smiled and said the woman in the
audience was correct but it was still a good summary.
