Alternatively, she thought that kind of a lie would be well received. It's a widely used social skill to admit you were wrong even though you think you weren't.
Why would she claim she hadn't seen it coming, when it would be have been much more to her benefit if she had claimed that she had seen the crisis coming?
That claim a) begs the question of why she didn't say something at the time, or short the stock market, and b) is somewhat cliched anyway.
