Are you referring to the "you," as in "you and the man" as being in the second person?
While the woman (not yet Isha/Eve) refuted, she was wrong. God did not prohibit touching the fruit, only eating it. She added to the command of God, and was therefore wrong. Had she stuck to the script, she would have fared much better.
And yes, when Eve (clearer than "the woman", but less precise) tried to rebut the serpent's arguments, she got God's commands wrong. But Adam, who received the command directly, said nothing.
