The main reason I don't think they bonked is because she desperately wants it to be true. She's hinted so broadly at the possibility that we can rule out an effort at being demure. People who are inclined to pass judgment have already had plenty of opportunity to do so, so she's not hiding from them. The only people she's hiding from are skeptics who might require specifics. It's the same "that's classified" game we all remember. The truth is always far more mundane.
Besides, the whole game rests on the silly premise that talent can be pounded into someone, which she falsifies nightly.
