Actually, I'd disagree on this point. Most of the Icarus base personnel have working-to-expert knowledge of the Ancient tech found on Earth & Atlantis, so it stands to reason that if the Destiny (and the shuttles) are a more primitive form of that technology, they'd at least have a basic knowledge. The shuttles are almost certainly the precursors to SGA's puddlejumpers.
As to 'the ship refuels on stellar matter' being a cheat, I actually saw this coming from the moment the ship altered course for the star. If you're familiar with Star Trek, you know that the Enterprise has something called [TECH] (just kidding - Bussard collectors, which are a real thing) to collect deuterium from stellar matter for the purposes of powering the ship's basic systems. As soon as the Destiny turned toward that star, I knew exactly how the episode was going to end.
