I believe it is the first time they lost a conflict but I also this it is the first time the Diamonds Authority was questioned. That any Gem had ever decided to break out of the mold or position they were placed into. It would be startling to have everyone do as you say and go about what they were designed for and then boom, suddenly they are not listening and are different. They understand the sameness in every Gems and view them as such because they will instantly know what they will be like. It would be hard to see a Pearl be fierce because it is unexpected. They can no longer tell how they will react or what they will do to certain situations. The control is gone. It would be like looking at someone you knew as a child and then seeing them as an adult after years of separation and finding they are not even close to what they use to be. Same wrapper and different on the inside. A thing Home World Gems do not understand.
