I think it's a really good episode. It had some flaws, but in my opinion they didn't really affect the episode. I think the reason they decided to make everyone mad at Lincoln is because he tried to make Lisa be different, and I think the message of the episode was not to make people somebody that they were not.

There is the continuity error about Lisa not being in college, but unlike  One of the Boys or Brawl in the Family, it's pretty reasonable. Take "The Lost Matress" from Spongebob as an example. In that episode, Spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward have to find Mr Krabs' old mattress when they find out that it has all of his money in it. In pretty much every other episode, Mr Krabs doesn't have a mattress, but instead sleeps in a hammock. It does ruin continuity, but it's something very small and the rest of the episode is still good. A bad example would be "Brawl in the Family". In that episode, there's some weird "sister protocol" that never existed before. In other episodes where they fight, like Space Invader, there's no weird protocol thingy that everyone is worrying about. It has been confirmed in other episodes that Lisa is in college, but it was never really an important part of any other episodes, and changing it in this episode didn't affect her character in any way, like it did in "One of the Boys".
