Personally, I don't like that theory for one reason: It reduces Discord as a character to a mentally-distressed self-transfigured pony. I don't like that idea; I prefer the idea of Discord being a completely alien being, possibly a manifestation of a force of nature itself that is so far above any pony, incluidng Celestia and Luna, that their powers seem like chlidren playing with spitballs. It's only another manifest force of nature like the Elements of Harmony that can cause him seroius problems.

Crazy old unicorn, no. Near-omnipotent self-proclaimed "god" from beyond Equestria, yes.
