Solnit opens her piece by describing how she was conversationally pummeled by a guy about Eadweard Muybridge, when she’d actually written the very book the guy was holding forth on.

She couldn’t manage to blurt out, “whoa! That’s so cool! I actually wrote that book you’re talking about!”? Why not?

Sounds like a pathologically limp personality to me.
