It would be a retread in some cases (we've seen FlutterNotShy plenty of times by now), but it might be funny to see Applejack being given an artificial boost in intelligence because Starlight thinks she's stupid or somethingOr Rainbow Dash with humility, or Pinkie becoming bound by logic, or Rarity genuinely enjoying getting muddy
The point being that those things that make different people different aren't necessarily "flaws", but essential parts of their characters.

Starlight was so removed from normal interaction that she doesn't even consider interacting with people on a social level while performing tasks: It's the task that matters, and if she's doing an unfamiliar task with someone else she's going to assume that person is judging her based on her performance at the task and not just that they're hanging out doing the same thing together.
Regarding my previous comment: No, they didn't screw the ending up. This one had a great ending, not rushed, and actually summed up what they were working towards during the episode in a proper, organic way.
And with that said, I've seen episodes with super-rushed "where did that come from" endings that I liked better than this one.
