Ooooh! See on the one hand, I think that's a brilliant turnaround that's the exact sort of misdirection Moffat would go for. But also, if that is what she meant then it implies that she is able to consciously remember the Silence and what they look like, or at least have a much stronger subconscious memory of it than most which is interesting in itself. I figured at least partially that the reason they needed the suit for her was that they couldn't care for her/control her themselves as the repeated memory wipes she'd get simply by seeing them would drive her as loopy as Dr Renfrew, hence the need for both the suit and Renfrew in the first place, as intermediaries? SO MANY QUESTIONS.
As to the time thing - I also recently rewatched parts of the Library episodes and again, the whole way she's talking makes it completely clear that they're not on a neat reverse linear track, so there's either something deliberately odd going on here, or it's a weird retcon that I am going to ignore.
