Hands up who believes that this was in Celestia's plan from the start, maybe from the moment that she 'accidentally' swapped hatching Spike's egg with the real entry exam for Twilight?

Regarding Star Swirl, I think that this episode confirms that he was trying to find a way to become an alicorn but couldn't because he didn't really understand friendship (sweet but curmudgeonly old stallion who preferred to work alone, like as not). I wonder what might happen if Twilight were to go back in time to meet him and he were to realise that she had succeeded where he failed?
