Surely the Persuasion reference in RMF is directly to Kay and Edwin's relationship. The Marlows take against Edwin because he really isn't their type - too old, not naval, fuddy duddy etc etc - just as Anne Elliot's family take against her choice (ironically partly because he is naval!) But by the end of the book Nicola has come to see that Edwin has value, especially after events in Oxford. So she understands that people may know better than their families who is the right partner for them - which is the central theme of Persuasion. So she tells Ginty that actually she now understands Persuasion pretty well.
