It's a bit of personal philosophy, I think. She was advising Jaune to simply accept that certain things are and not worry about why that is. I also think it was Monty warning us in advance that he isn't going to waste time with too much world-building. Some things about the RWBY world we are just going to have to accept on failth and not demand internally consistant explanations for it because we aren't going to get them.

Obviously he's watched Burnie's tribulations with the Let's Figure This Out (LFTO) squad on the RoosterTeeth forums and has decided in advance he isn't going to let himself get bogged down in the same way.

Expect lots of occasions at Q&A panels when people ask Monty why certain things are the way they are in the RWBY world and the answer will be something like: "Because I wrote it that way."
