Any other pony probably would've flown/walked away, but as Rainbow had demonstrated just this past Saturday, if you disrespect something she likes or represents, she'll defend it.

In any case, it's already absurd to consider something unrealistic in a world of magic, but I think that was part of the episode's in-joke -- the writers sort of poking fun at their own series. Ignoring that, however... To Quibble, Daring Do is just a Pegasus, so I don't find it TOO much of a suspension of disbelief that he would believe a pony like her wouldn't be as athletic or agile as A.K. Yearling writes her to be.

And in the end, he acknowledges that, while he still doesn't like the later books in the series, they aren't as "unrealistic" as he initially believed since he's met a pony (two, in fact) capable of pulling off those book-written scenes.
