Except the greatest educational game of all time was already ten years old and dead from dysentery by the time she was speaking.

I think it's more a case of her certainty coming from a lack of knowledge about the subject and the assumption that because she doesn't know about it that it doesn't exist.

Oregon Trail was not ten years old then.

Oh yeah my mistake, the version we know wouldn't come out for three more years the original text based one was ten years old

Holy shit my bad. I thought there was no way this dated back to 1972. Actually dates back to 1971.

I was thinking of the version I played on an Apple in the 80s.

Clearly that was not the first incarnation.

I mean, yeah, I am also assuming that she was no expert on the matter. We're saying that it was an understandable opinion for a lay person or even someone who kept up with the bigger titles. It certainly wasn't easy back then to know about all kinds of games...
