Well, that's the funny thing about people. People (and the ponies which are written to mimic our behaviour) are so self-centred that something reasonable like 'the Princess is exhausted and is resting' is an irrelevant and even insulting excuse for not dealing with their urgent, critical and vital issue. That blue pegasus with the poufy hair was a good example. His ridiculously trivial problem was so important in his mind that it needed and actually demanded Twilight's immediate and personal intervention. Those two ponies who had been double-booked were both so wrapped up in their pitiful ego-conflict that they demanded Twilight's intervention to stop them and their cities' delegations from withdrawing from the summit!

Spike realised that there was no putting these ponies off. He realised that they would only go away if they thought that Twilight had dealt with their problem for them and it worked.
