Kek. Seems like a lot of people usually gloss over this one in favor of MMDW when talking about shitty episodes.

>Yet, there also is the flaw. She fucked up, and then said she learned nothing. She changed nothing. When one makes a mistake, they should learn how to avoid it, or at least get a little closer to learning that. There is, here, a hint of stagnation, and this is supposed to be a mare nation.
I think you're being a little overly dramatic here. Every character had an episode where they were right and didn't learn any thing. In fact, AJ was the last pony of the mane 6 to receive such an episode. Difference between her and the rest of them is that they had their episodes in season 1, where they weren't the ones writing the letter, and in subsequent seasons, where there were no more letters. AJ actually has the least amount of "I was right" episodes compared to everyone else, as this is basically her first and only episode of that nature. If this is supposed to be evidence of stagnation, then the other characters are all far more stagnant, and have been since season 1.
Plus, what exactly is her grievous fuck up here she needed to learn from anyway? She isn't the one that bet the farm stupidly, granny did that. Applejack was pretty sensible the whole way through.
