In-universe sure. STRQ wouldn't be in-universe 'disallowed'. But rather than in-universe, what's wrong with talking creative process? I'm not saying STRQ would be in-universe disallowed. I'm suggesting it's relatively more important for Qrow to get his letter than for Weiss to.

I'm not sure where we actually disagree. I laid out a few reasons I think QRTS is the best. Just one is that creatively, I suspect leaders would ideally get the first letter, and get their letter /right/, if possible. It's possible here. And part of that is that creatively you twist the original rules you set yourself to make the less important teams work. RWBY, JNPR and Qrow's team will have been early ideas.

Not trying to say STRQ or TRQS break the in-universe rules he eventually settled on. Just that I think QRTS is a better fit for a multitude of reasons.
