It might be a "lost in rewrites" issue, since from the way they talk before the fix happens they do act like they've always had these cutie marks, but don't know why. That would be seen as Fake Memories to most (including whoever added that examples) but in context I do think the line was added so that "just restore their memories!" wasn't an easy solution. I'm still not sure how it counts either, maybe Ambiguous Situation? But I don't wanna jump to that right away, feels like a copout choice.

I would say it altered history if not for Ponyville only staring to going to hell the day after the switch as opposed to rewritten to already be screwed.

I asked the MLP forum for their thoughts, but am asking here over the technical uses (like Fake Memories being fan speculations opposed to shown/stated).

I'll probably move this to Ambiguous Situation unless I hear otherwise.

Ignore. Accidental double post.
