Maybe she doesn't like the implications, thinking that it could lead people to adopt abhorrent social policies. After all, if some idiot tries to structure a social system based on a total misunderstanding of a scientific theory and it results in mass genocide, it means that the theory is false. Argument from the consequences, and all that.
