I believe the evidence after the fall will be the judge.  Did either Adam or God say that Eve was mistaken or that she lied or added to God’s words?  The evidence is that she was not charged with lying or adding to God’s words or of mere stupidity.  If this were the case that she was so naive that she couldn’t even get a simple command right, then God made women somehow defective and childlike and of course they should be led and their word should never be trusted.  This was the Jewish view.  Women’s word was never to be trusted.  I wonder how many trust what Eve said even today?  Our world view has been tainted because we mistrust her.  If we take her words at face value (since there is no evidence we should not trust what she said) then everything changes.
