It is mathematically incorrect to claim Derpy spends "most" of her "screen time" breaking things! I used the charts of her appearances from the article above and watched the clips mentioned to determine that Derpy has about 414 seconds of time on the screen over the entire 48 episodes to date. The only screen time that explicitly shows her doing anything clumsy are the scene from Feeling Pinkie Keen (approx. 4 seconds) and the scene from Last Roundup (approx 53 seconds) which constitute only 13% of her onscreen time and 6% of the episodes she appeared in. Most of her screen time and episode appearnces are ACTUALLY spent crossing her eyes in the background, fluttering around during various musical numbers, popping out of wells, cheering for Twi or RD in the background, helping prepare for the storm in Fall Weather Friends, and other non-clumsy actions. I don't think an objective observer should reasonably consider 13% of her screen time to be an accurate indicator of how she spends "most" of her screen time. If you meant to say "time as a main scripted foreground pony" instead of "screen time" then I agree 100% of her time as a main scripted foreground pony has been of a clumsy nature. But the fact is that that time is only 13% of the time she has appeared on the show.
