It seems to me that she was just as angry (or angrier) about the criticism. Otherwise, she would have done just as you suggested. She seems to be a victim of believing her own good press and not seeing that what she compares to a virtuouso performance is really rooted in arrogance...with a dash of insecurity because if she were so confident in her work, I think she could withstand a pre-printing 2nd opinion.
And to think that I used to haunt bookstores and libraries, looking for her new books. No more.
