It’s not quite the same situation. Celestia urged Twilight not to tell her friends about the Alicorn magic to help safeguard them from Tirek; the old “you can’t tell what you don’t know” routine. In this case Twilight didn’t tell Celestia she was a bad actress because she couldn’t bear to say anything bad about her beloved mentor, but not saying anything only made matters worse.
