The difficulty is that she immediately prejudged what she felt to be the "red lines" - which you also quote (control of laws + borders etc) but it wasn't clear that was what all leave voters want.
As an illustration - if you wanted to vote to leave but have a Norway arrangement, how would you vote? You'd vote out, of course. So it must be the case that the leave vote is a coalition of these different views.
That being the case, she should have started by preaching caution; saying that we can't prejudge where we should get to without more discussion; and seeking cross party consensus.
She did the opposite. She said that the vote had to be interpreted one way only, and then refused to seek opposition buy-in, even after she lost her majority. So many of the issues stem from this approach.
