That's fair, but the reason she's taken so much heat is that she blasted the author whose work was stolen, citing decades of experience that gave her authority on copyright law. If her area of expertise is food, then she has no business citing her business in editorial work as a viable defense.

It's similar to development and development management. They require different skills - being a good developer doesn't mean you'll be a good development manager and vice versa.
Similarly being a journalist (which is about research and writing) is very different to being an editor (which is about organisation and the commercial side of things).
That said, her level of knowledge seems insufficient for either role. The basics of copyright law would seem to be a pre-requisite for anything involving writing these days.
