I think the spam filter is overly enthusiastic. Which it shouldn't be. :\ I fixed the comment.
That's why I think this is less "Oh she got it right!" and more she let things slip that she wasn't supposed to. Like I said, she IS a talented writer. She just doesn't understand, IMHO, how the process actually works well enough to write it as she wants it to be perceived (as opposed to how SHE perceives it) the first time around. And she doesn't really edit at all, so there IS no second time around.
It's also possible that she's so deep in denial the Pharaohs are sending supplies upriver. Denial about what, I don't know and I don't want to know.
And fixing the scene correctly the first time around would have required a true admission that she was wrong. Which she won't ever do. The fix seems to me as less "oh, dear, I wrote a rape scene" and more "Oh, f*ck, I've been caught!"
