Counter her arguments with facts that you have obtained from the internet, library, etc. In fact, if at all possible, give her so many facts that counter anything she has to say, that she'll HAVE to "fall back" and think about what's she's told you.

At least, I'd hope it would work out that way...Good luck in however you handle this.
