I don't have access to the earlier rating lists, but what I did see was fairly
consistent with what she reported, so I suspect you're misreading. Ex:
"This system was tested for the first time on Vladimir Evelev (born in 1983). I
became acquainted with him in the beginning of 1998. He had an ELO rating of
2220 then (AS - I don't have the 1998 rating list to check), and I commented to
him during our first meeting that he had much greater potential."
(...)
"The dynamics of his changing ELO rating during two and half years was as
following: 2220-2280-2327-2346-2352-2452."
And sure enough FIDE has him listed at 2352 in Jan 2000 and 2452 in July 2000

Artur Gabrielian is reported at 2330 at the start, and as much as 2482. The
numbers aren't 100% in accordance with the FIDE rating list, but are close
enough.
"Similar tasks were put to Arthur Gabrielian (born 1982, now an IM). Taking into
account his age, personal characteristics and features of temperament, we may
say that the speed of his growth and the intensity of his studies were somewhat
raised.
During two years of training with chess software Arthur's rating shot up to
2482! Training become more interesting for the chess players who entered the
club later, it also became more sophisticated as Convekta Ltd started flooding
the market with new software. By now the number of chess programs to pick from
grew to around 20."
Gabrielian's rating was around 2330 twice on the FIDE list, and Mikhailova says
her report covers results obtained between 1997 and 2004 so it's hard to
determine exactly when. If we take the furthest in January 2000 at 2327 we can
see that about 2.5 years later, much like Vladimir Evelev, the results are
impressive indeed, peaking at 2476 in July 2002.

One can bicker about the 3-6 Elo points difference, but it still corroborates
the results reported.
