she finds a paragraph that appears to confirm all the Wikipedia article’s wild claims. But then she reads the first sentence of the next paragraph: "This is, of course, nonsense."

I'm guessing that "appears to confirm" really means that the book described the claim, but some people can misinterpret stating an argument as the same thing as making or affirming an argument. This is some advanced quote mining/cherry-picking the likes of witch the world has never seen before.
