But see, my point is that Twilight hadn’t seen her in years. People change. And the argument that she was just on edge because of the wedding has merit, my sister was a completely different person just before hers. Everything had to be absolutely perfect.
It’s really nothing more than luck that Twilight was right.

You can’t forget though, Twilight knows Cadance pretty well, so you think that Celestia could have learned to trust her student, which makes her a bad leader if she can’t even know when she’s wrong, y’know? I’m not saying Twilight couldn’t have handled it better, but no one else helped by trying to talk to her about what was going on, and being too caught up in the wedding to see how Twilight was feeling.
It was less “trusting her instincts” and more having a knee-jerk reaction to someone’s behavior when she hasn’t seen them for like fifteen years anyways. Celestia had a lot on her plate and didn’t want to add dealing with her neurotic student to it. So what if Twilight was right? She could have stated it better than “She’s acting differently than she did when I was a kid! She’s evil!”
Celestia conceded defeat and admitted that Twilight was right because nitpicking that at that point would have been childish. Sometimes you just have to go with it.
Not a bad piece of advice, BUT… it feels so weird with how Princess Celestia also was on Twilight’s case for trusting her instincts when it came to Chrysalis.
