You know I see what you mean.
I think one thing that could have made this better was if Twilight actally debated Neighsay with facts and her own experiences. And would clarify the points she made.
Then if Neighsay still refused to see reason, Twilight would truly be in the right.
Honestly Twilight in this season could have been a lot better. Same for the Mane Six. I wish we would have seen more of a wise mentor figures to also show their development.
