* In relation to the above, what's with this mindset anyway. Tirek's backstory showed that he befriended Scorpan, someone who willingly assisted Tirek in his first attempt to steal pony magic, causing him to reform and help seal his brother into Tartaurus, something that couldn't have been possible if becoming a villain was permanent.

** Throughout the series, it's suggested that the ponies have a decent handle on plastics (such as in "The Parent Map", where we're shown smoothies served in what appear to be disposable plastic cups). Depending on the precise state of their polymer science, artificial leather could be possible. Though that does raise the question of why they'd go to the trouble of developing artificial leather when they presumably never bothered with natural leather.

** What we see Derpy is a sadly realistic depiction of [[https://aapos.org/glossary/strabismus strabismus]], a medical condition in which the eyes are unaligned. There isn't always a concrete reason for it in children, but it could be caused by trauma (perhaps while flying) or a genetic condition affecting the brain and/or tendons that control the eyes. It usually starts at an early age—around age three—and lack of treatment can cause it to worsen over time, often resulting in poor vision in one eye and severe loss of depth perception. It shouldn't be hard to see how those would lead to poor performance in flying competitions.

The whole reason she forgot about them entirely is because she didn't care about them on a personal level.

Need I remind you that one of the reigning Princesses of the land once tried to trap Equestria in eternal night and then transformed into an evil, cackling tyrant? Or the spirit of Chaos that plunged Ponyville into madness in recent memory that pops in and out of town all the time with no reaction from anypony?

* How is Daring Do even able to maintain her secret identity anymore? As it stands, there seems to be "mainstream" Equestrian society, where everyone thinks that Daring Do is a fictional character and A. K. Yearling is just a talented author, and that same nation's more adventure-prone outskirts and frontier, where everyone knows that Daring Do is real and nobody seems to know who A. K. Yearling is. Daring Do's secret identity seems to rely entirely on people from different areas of the country never interacting -- all it would take to blow her cover is someone taking an exotic vacation and taking a popular book along, or someone from the areas she adventures in going somewhere else in Equestria for whatever reason and happening to see or hear about one of her books, or a newspaper reporting on her adventures and their side effects (in other words, ''exactly like the ones in this episode did'', just with a slightly wider circulation). I mean, it's one thing to suspend disbelief for characters maintaining their secret identities despite some improbabilities, but this is ridiculous.
** While that is all true, it does seem that overall Equestria has a serious communication issue when it comes to how information is spread. Just look at how long it took for Twilight's princess status to start getting much attention outside of Canterlot and Ponyville, and she isn't trying to hide her identity. Then we have Starlight not knowing who the Wonderbolts are, Pharynx not knowing who Twilight is, etc. Even the Mane 6's accomplishments seem to only recently be getting widespread recognition, despite all the celebrations and events held in their honor in earlier seasons its like the knowledge didn't spread much beyond those present at the celebrations. Still, Daring Do has been active as an adventurer for longer than the Mane 6, so it still stretches disbelief. We know tourist/travelling ponies exist, so them not selling her books in a region shouldn't equal complete anonymity for years on end unless said tourists never go there.
** For that matter, Caballeron must be fully aware of her secret. Why doesn't he spill it?
** One possible reason Daring Do could maintain her secret is because her exploits considered fiction by northern ponies while being kind of [[TheGreatestStoryNeverTold greatest stories never told]] for southern. So even if someone tried to tell everyone that Daring Do's heroics are a real deal, they'd have a hard time actually proving it, since locals would only tell about destruction Do leaves behind, but not actual stories.
