Can someone answer something nonsensical through text when they’re busy? Is it possible for someone to get that confused?

So I’ve asked a certain question to someone which they’ve given me a clear answer to various times. This one time I texted them while they were busy with school and a past meeting asking about kind of the same question and the answer was nonsensical. It was different and I got worried because I thought they were changing the story around or lying. However I texted them “wait but that wasn’t the answer last time” (don’t even question why I kept on asking a similar question) and they responded oh sorry and kind of “fixed” the answer to what originally it was. They said their mind was everywhere and they didn’t answer as intended plus they were stressed about other stuff. I kind of felt lied to even though it could’ve been a mistake because they were busy and what not. My question is, can someone type/respond something nonsensical while they’re distracted and later take it back? Can that even happen?
