True. However, I'd say the use of "whole clan" is a poor choice, since what you meant was each individual within the clan and not the clan itself. Also, who would eat an apple bloom?
From your own link: ed·i·ble adj \ˈe-də-bəl\ : fit to be eaten : eatable — ed·i·bil·i·ty \ˌe-də-ˈbi-lə-tē\ noun — edible noun
And yes I did mean each member of the clan was named for an apple-related food or item such as apple blossoms, although I'm sure someone somewhere eats the blossoms since people eat rose petals and whatnot.

I never said I had a problem with "Edibility". But Edible is an adjective.
I'll accept it if Princeton has it as a noun but, sorry trogdor, your definition is from the Random House Dictionary. Merriam Webster trumps Random House every time.
An eatable substance, an article of food. (chiefly in pl.)

More people need to watch episode 16 so we can discuss Celestia conspiracy theories.
Celestia is effectively God, so she probably knew (or at least was reasonably sure) that Dash was capable of saving Rarity. Also, letting Rarity nearly die helped teach her a lesson - and Celestia hopefully had time to save her until Dash demonstrated she was going to get there in time.
tl;dr: Celestia totally let it happen, because she's manipulating the ponies into learning the magic of friendship.
Also, Fluttershy screaming at the end totally makes that episode, and RD may be bi.
Celestia controls the sun, so she's not only complicit, she's directly responsible for the event. Also, Celestia and Luna are the only two winged unicorns (Pegacorn? Unisus?) in the show, and I think they would want to keep it that way.

I honestly think the pseudo-classical theories that Celestia was jealous are stretching things a bit (although the show was making very obvious parallels to Icarus), since Celestia could certainly tell that the wings were magic, and would go away in a few days. She was either intentionally teaching Rarity the lesson of the show (which I think is probable), or she misjudged how fragile the wings were, and hesitated until she saw that RD was going to the rescue.

Oh, it's a huge stretch (hence why I said "conspiracy theories"), but evil Celestia is just too tempting a thought. At the very least, Celestia is rather patronizing, though.
Considering Celestia tends to do things and teach lessons in a roundabout way, I think it was probably she was trying to teach Rarity a lesson but took it too far or overestimated the ability of the Wonderbolts (granted Rarity was struggling pretty fierce but still.)

Also, this is some nerdy shit.
Talking about words is way nerdier than that.

I mean, she sends the ponies up against a dragon without backup. Seriously.
