Among other things it's an interesting reflection on the sin of Eve.
THis just seems to very speculative to me, but how deceived do you have to be. The Lord says,"Don't eat the apple." The serpent says,"He didn't mean it." It just strikes me as the kind of deceit that needs a willing victim, one open to the possibility the God, uh, misspoke.
There is a difference between being deceived and sinning willfully. Adam knew full well what he was doing. Eve didn't. It didn't excused Eve, but her punishment was not as severe as Adam. Christians are fully capable of being deceived and are warned against it.
It isn't that Eve was a "willing" victim; she was naive. Both her and Adam's problem resided in the fact that they failed to seek the Lord's guidance on the matter. But their failure was the result of two different types of temptations.
