Beware the double illusion of transparency ?
I wasn't there at the time, but if EY's description is roughly accurate, I suspect the ordinary-seeming woman understood him in the opening anecdote. The specific chain I'm looking at is:
EY: Magic does not exist.
OSW: Science doesn't understand everything?
EY: Ignorance is in mind, not reality.
OSW: Magic is impossible!
I see no way that OSW could deduce this fact about magic unless she compared magic - stuff which you are necessarily ignorant of - to the correct interpretation of EY's point.
