My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Question

What do you think of the theory going around that Discord may in fact be Star Swirl the Bearded?

| Reasons For This Theory |
# They both have white beards.
# Discord can travel in time. (Star Swirl is related to the time spells because the section of the Canterlot Archives holding the Time Spell is named after him).
# John de Lancie has officially confirmed he has voiced a character in season 3, but he never said it was Discord. If Star Swirl was Discord, their voice would be the same.
# This Picture: link (Notice that the book has three stars and a swirl on it).
# The Amniomorphic spells could actually be the Omniomorphic spell, which allows the user to turn into anything, including a Draconequus.
# When Discord hypnotises Twilight and her friends, the background is shown as a series of stars.
# Discord remembered Princess Celestia, Star Swirl was also alive in that time because Clover the Clever mentioned him in the Hearths Warming Eve play.
# Whenever Discord teleports, stars appear.

| Reasons Against This Theory |
# No mention of it from anypony in the history of the entire show.
# It would mean Star Swirl descended into madness at some point and is inherently evil, so why would Twilight dress up as somepony on Nightmare Night who is evil?
# Lauren Faust never intended Discord to be Star Swirl when she created him.
# Discord isn't the only Draconequus.

How...Amusing. I didn't even know this was a theory. You come up with the most ridiculous things about me--And that's saying a lot! Ahahahahah!~

Oh? If you expected me to confirm or deny that little rumor, I'm not going to. Think what you like. If I was a pony or not is a secret that I don't even know. And why should I care?~

Actually I didn't make it up. I found it on YouTube and I found it interesting.

I have one more reason against this theory: Star Swirl the Bearded would never make anypony behave the opposite of their Element of Harmony. I'm sorry, but if that were true, then I can crap out gold bricks, cut T-rexes in half with a katana, and breathe in the farthest reaches of space while, all at the same time, reciting the lyrics to Theory Of A Deadman's song Love is Hell, the latter of which I could actually do right now. Discord, you are NOT Star Swirl the Bearded. Done. Cut and bucking print. There is nothing to see here. Move along.
