Technically she's wrong since both families are in the order strigiformes (a truly vacuous point since this is just "all owls"), but then he goes on to point out the lack of ears makes it a barn owl when it's a strix species (earless true owl), which is insane.
Barred owls are super recognizable true owls which lack ears, so you'd have to be faking hard to fuck this up.
