Is that not what you meant by "[Starlight] doesn't even care that what she did was wrong"? Or "Twilight isn't a very good teacher"? I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, GoldenLine; I'm repeating your points back to you as you said them.

What you choose to view as contradictory behavior, I choose to view as learning experiences. Yes, it was a bad idea for Twilight to try and execute a friendship lesson through a checklist, but checklists are something Twilight knows well and is comfortable with (see Lesson Zero and It's About Time). That she would try to parlay that comfortability into being a teacher is expected. Yes, Twilight was wrong to try and get between Starlight and her new friend in No Second Prances, but her doubts didn't simply come out of nowhere.

Having reread your post, fine, I understand the point(s) you were trying to make. But I think the thing to understand is that Celestia and Twilight's relationship is not going to be the same as the relationship between Twilight and Starlight. They're going to make a lot of mistakes. Celestia's made a few as well. I don't see this as a contradiction of Testing Testing 1, 2, 3's lesson -- I see it as testament.

"One way of learning isn't better than another." Celestia had her methods for teaching Twilight, and Twilight has hers for teaching Starlight.
