I believe that's exactly what a "witch of truth" is. One cannot be called a "witch" if she doesn't perform some kind of "magic" and Erika is no exception.
Despite the fact she claims to despise lies and fantasy in the end she lies as much as Beatrice does.
So what Erika really hates is the uncertainty, any solution to a mystery is good with her as long as it can't be denied, even if that solution is entirely made up.
If there is a catbox she'll declare that the cat is dead even if there is no actual proof to conclude it is. In the end as long as the catbox remains closed no one can prove her wrong.
Ange took this path when she decided that Eva was the culprit and she persevered on that path when she decided that Amakusa wanted to kill her and that Kawabata betrayed her.
That however has absolutely nothing to do with the search for the truth.
