It is the Boston Herald that is defending her and a Boston University History Professor, but I am sure you know about the subject than them.

No, it's you.
What THEY said were things like that she appeared to 'get lucky' on PART of what she said, but they doubt she knew she was talking about.
You are the one who misrepresented what they said as 'completely vindicating here' and saying people here who were correct had to say she was right, they were wrong.
I didn't see the article say 'Anandtech posters pointing out her errors were wrong'.
I didn't see the article say that her claiming Paul Revere warned the British *with bells and warning shots while he rode* and no mention of saying anything to them, meant that she was right because when he was taken into custody - NOT when 'he was riding his horse through town' - he made comments she did not mention.
I will let her have the point about their coming for a rebel ammunition cache confuse with 'coming to take the citizens' guns' she is trying to exploit for her 'Democrats want to take your guns' claim, because - especially for her - it has enough to it to let her have it as a poorly phrased statement. The other stuff she got wrong.
Face the facts - I know you don't like it - she clearly did not understand the 'bells and shots' were to alert the *citizens*, not the British.
(In fact, I haven't seen anything that the shots were warnings to anyone rather than the ones between citizens and the soldiers, but it's unclear).
His ride was to warn Sam Adams and John Hancock - she doesn't even mention that, calling it a 'ride to warn the British, with bells and shots'.
He didn't even plan to 'warn the British' at all with the ride, and planned to do nothing of the sort had he not been captured.
You are wrong. The fact she got bits right (he was on a horse, not a helicopter), parts gray area, and parts wrong leaves her quite wrong on the parts she's wrong on.
Revere's own description says nothing of warning the British not to seize arms caches, it says he was warning the two leaders:
About 10 o'Clock, Dr. Warren Sent in great haste for me, and beged that I would imediately Set off for Lexington, where Messrs. Hancock & Adams were, and acquaint them of the Movement, and that it was thought they were the objets.
The 'Paul Revere House' points out who he was warning - not a word about Brits:
On the way to Lexington, Revere "alarmed" the country-side, stopping at each house, and arrived in Lexington about midnight. As he approached the house where Adams and Hancock were staying, a sentry asked that he not make so much noise. "Noise!" cried Revere, "You'll have noise enough before long. The regulars are coming out!"
