I did reach a conclusion, but John Hinderaker put it very nicely into words to spare me the trouble of writing extensively about it.
The key sentence:
The real problem that was exposed at Old North Church wasn't Palin's lack of knowledge about American history, it was incoherence.Hinderaker nails it. Though there is enough detail in Palin's account for one knowledgeable about Revere's ride to see that she has at least some picture of some of the lesser-known details, nobody could could reasonably use her account to obtain a realistic picture of what Revere did on his ride without that prior knowledge.
