People were probably a little too harsh, but the statement that "she doesn't understand the difference between our gambling because she doesn't care to" reflects ignorance.

A person who becomes upset over a phenomenon that she can't explain is normal.

A person who easily becomes upset over a very simple concept that would probably take ten minutes for a network engineer to understand is clearly evident of some sort of lack of ability.

Book smart, she must be... but is she 'real-world' smart enough to take some very small steps to alleviate her own frustration? Apparently not.
