not sarcastic at all. Sarcasm is overrated. I understand your point of view but you fail to see this in a story perspective.

Ok let me try this. In a visual medium, be it a play, television series or movie. There's an old saying that been drilled in any good writer. "If you going to use a gun in act III then you need to show it somehow in act I" That's good storytelling. Here's an example: We see Blakes bow move long before she shows her ears.

Same principle with the train shipment. Weiss line is not a throwaway line. It is there with the specific reason to make Blake become defensive. To make her re-evaluate her past action. that reason 1

Now reason 2. Let's say your right and she meant another shipment. Now put yourself into Blakes shoes for a moment. Your last job before leaving the white fang was a train highjack of Shnee dust. Here you are debating the white fang with the heir of the Shnee company and she mentions the highjack of a Shnee train shipment. Would you automatically think of your last job?
