Actually, I would think the fact that she could stand at all after 300 
years of immobility would (if anything) suggest that the gravity on the 
Whorl was much lighter than Urth's. If one has decided to argue against 
an explanation, a "failure-to-mention-something" will always be close at 
hand. It is not the lowest level of literary criticism,  but it is below 
the median. It's surely the least most boring.
