Applejack makes a point. If they agree to a 75-25 split, they'll lose 75 percent potential profit. That's a no-no for a family that keeps Ponyville supplied with apples. If the split was somewhere around 60-40, that would've been more reasonable. But the fact that the Flim Flam Brothers were able to construct a machine may already indicate that they are wealthy business ponies. Compared with the Apple Family, with a rickety barn if I may add, they're only small business players. Notice that even with their earnings, not much has changed in Sweet Apple Acres, perhaps pointing to the theory that much of the money they earn goes into farm operations.

It's not that progress is bad. But I'm not saying that it's totally good either. It's just that progress,a s far as I can see in this episode, stands on unreasonable grounds.
