Yeah, I know. I just wanted to mention that whole thing about the removed cousins, cause my post you mentioned was technically kind of wrong. Going by the technical terminology though, Lauren Faust's explanation is also kind of impossible given that the word 'removed' can't actually actually refer nieces/nephews, so I'm still pretty sure the descended from Celestia and Luna's aunt or uncle thing is true, though. Familial terminology gets really confusing and it kind of makes sense that they would refer to Cadence and Blueblood as niece and nephew respectively, especially cause of the usual connotations associated with the word cousin and the fact that a lot of people don't actually know what '___ times removed' even means. I didn't until I researched it yesterday. But yeah, I was kind of just restating what you said with that new info.
