It's denial on multiple levels. Even aside from their denial that The Last Problem happened (it _*did_*, deal with it), _*do they think **Scootaloo** thinks for a nanosecond that she'll ever fly?_

*Scootaloo**: Just because I look up to you doesn't mean I have to be you! But based on your definition of what makes somepony great, I have bad news. I'll never be the best of the best or a Wonderbolt! Because I! Can't! Fly! Is that what you wanted to hear? But not being able to fly doesn't mean I can't do something awesome![/bq]



 
Does that sound like someone who thinks it's a matter of learning, or growing into them? No, the most logical conclusion is that the show is screaming _*to your face_* that she'll never fly. It should've been clear it was _*probably_* the case in S4, too. And also from how Surf and/or Turf had her guess that "this must be like flying," without a "I just can't wait to learn how to do that" to offset it.


 
Lauren Faust wanted Scootaloo to be a disabled pegasus, and the show did exactly *_**nothing_*** to contradict that.


 
And wing size _*doesn't matter_* as far as we can tell, because Bulk Biceps could fly with his disproportionately small wing size, Scootaloo can't.
