Well said anon (the glibness guna part....and the rest)! Terry has a profoundly damaged brain and therefore a profoundly limited mind. Mostly brainstem: body homeostasis, orienting reflexes. An ego? I hope not. There is no difference between "your" responses and "hers." She probably doesn't have an ego to falsely take ownwership of action.
