You are right. I was just saying that those things cause one to be sceptical. I would honestly think that earth pony strength being real would cause inconsistencies like that to make even less sense than if it were not because some of the feats of great strength can be explained with individual training or for comedic purposes while the feats of limited strength would just be plotholes. I mean some of them still would be but not as blatant. There is a certain suspension of disbelief there that would have gone away if they had made it a point early on that earth ponies had magically enhanced strength since the viewers would expect it. The writers don't seem to care enough about it to make earth ponies consistently stronger allowing for things like that to happen.
