I don't think it's "trying too hard"; it was the first thing that occurred to me when hearing the dialogue and seeing Kirito's emotional reaction to the statement. I read the whole thing as one big sarcastic statement, like "Whoever could have seen
that coming? How could
that happen?" And that's when Kirito got mad at Kayaba and picked up her sword. So... I don't know... seemed like the most logical explanation to me at the time.
The other possible explanation is that, as M.A.D said, she broke the laws of the game, just as Kirito did. Which I guess is okay too, but that too isn't clearly stated. You can interpret that as the reason why Asuna too cleared the game, or you can say that she was allowed to live because of the promise Kayaba made to Kirito before the battle. Either way, I guess, requires some interpretation.
