I still disagree with these 'basic facts.'  Twilight is playing her strengths the best she can. Even the greatest of leaders have their self doubts. Hell, Abraham Lincoln, our greatest president on this side of the pond had self doubts. George Washington had self doubts.  And now on to her not fitting as the protagonist. Let me put this in a way to make this clear

THE WHOLE STORY REVOLVES AROUND HER. How is she not the protagonist?  The reason why she hid her powers was because Celestia told her to hide them from her friends as to not put them in danger. Granted they got captured anyway, but it's not a bad reason.

"I still disagree with these 'basic facts.'"
So you don't think she's in this episode?

"Twilight is playing her strengths the best she can. Even the greatest of leaders have their self doubts. Hell, Abraham Lincoln, our greatest president on this side of the pond had self doubts.

So by playing to her strengths this shows that she isn't  in the episode? Having self doubts doesn't say anything about her presence, though to see it, she should be present and showing doubt...

So you disagree with my basic fact that she's in the episoe. But you think she's the protagonist... you think someone is the protagonist, who isn't even there. Okay... *backs away slowly*.
I misread you there. I thought when you were implying that the basic facts were the ones about how Twilight acted in this episode. No need to make me look like I'm insane to try to make it look like you're winning, though granted, I could have been a bit more clear myself.

I was trying to imply that: the 'basic fact' that everyone should be able to agree upon, is that Twilight is in that episode... 

I didn't say you were insane. I just found what you were saying was utterly ludicrous given what I had said.

So return to the original point. I don't think I am egocentric for thinking that claims such as 'Tirek spoke to Discord' are something people should be able to agree on.
