I think Applejack's honesty is a well-known fact in Equestria now that she has represented that Element of Harmony, but of course WtAL took place before she had earned that reputation so I just don't feel that WtAL would be relevant in this instance. However, I totally agree that LoF is completely relevant and that, despite AJ's touted reputation of honesty, the brothers could have been skeptical of her having seen first-hoof that she is not perfect in that regard, especially since they are likely accustomed to dealing with less reputable characters (like themselves) and would be in the habit of being suspicious.

Having said that, it now also occurs to me that Flim and Flam should never have been in that predicament to begin with, as they should have instinctively been suspicious of Gladmane from the start.
