I don't really see how the idea is "outlandish". I mean, we know next to nothing about Alicorns, (if they're born naturally or can only be created, etc), and we know little of Twilight as a baby.

I suppose my theory could be compared to Harry Potter in a way. Harry was raised believing he was normal, but was eventually told he was a wizard. He was always a wizard, but he believed what he was taught until that point.

In that sense, Twilight could have been raised believing she was a unicorn, but really be an Alicorn who hasn't "matured" yet. This could help explain why her magic is overpowered when compared to other unicorns, Celestia's interest in taking Twilight on as her personal student.

I know there's nothing canon that contributes to this theory, but nothing that really takes away from it either, if I'm not mistaken.
