I haven't read this whole long thread nor do I personally know KNP, but I believe her story is possible.
I assumed that I was type 4 because my mother who has very silky type 2 hair didn't know how to deal with my hair as a kid. The Breck and Jhirmack and Faberge shampoos that worked on her hair really dried mine out and she brushed my hair daily so it stayed poofy and frizzy all the time. My hair laughed at Cream Rinses and I needed more oil and moisture in my hair.
Looking back at my childhood pictures, my hair definitely looks like type 4 hair.
I didn't learn any of this until I was in my late 20s and had been relaxing for many years at that point. Once I BCed and began a decent regimen, my hair grew into a 3B/3C pattern as my hair got longer.
