You can't really fault her, that's just how she has always lived and what her station demands of her. As you said before, all they need to do is have Velen verify it and be done with it, but it's about so much more on a personal level, which takes precendence over the truth.
Also, in regards to the Light, I don't know all the details surrounding that, but calling it the Light is as generic as someone who believes in a higher universal power which does not have a specific form or name, unlike Elune who was given a name and personified, so it's only natural that the shock was not of any value. It's like giving a medical condition or a phenomenon a name after experiencing it several times - you're already familiar with it, you just didn't know what to call it before.
