This theoretical cardinal did not create God, the Bible, or Christianity, and has an incentive to lie for personal gain. In comparison, Jim Miller WAS one of the ones who did create MLP Gen 4 and had creative control at the time of The Last Problem, and has no reason to lie. Sorry, your analogy is an utter failure. A better one would be if God himself or one of his highest ranking angels came down in person and told you something about Christianity that would not benefit them for you to believe, not some random cardinal. Creators of fictional stories absolutely have creative control over the content of their series.
Jim Miller, the co-director of the series at the time, stated that Li'l Cheese was specifically considered to be a colt AND was labeled one in the script. That is not headcanon, and _easily_ overrides whatever weak rule of thumb you're talking about.
