But can the internal switch in a 10/100 hub work in full duplex??? (Don't know why I decided to ask that question other than to cause trouble...)

No is correct. A hub can't be configured for full-duplex. If it can be, it's been misnamed. It's really a switch. But the explanation is not correct. A hub port doesn't listen before sending. It doesn't do MAC data-link-layer tasks. It simply forward bits that come in one port out all other ports. On a proper-sized network, the sending end hosts will still be monitoring their transmission, notice any collisions, and retransmit.
