User blog comment:Zolnir/Dust: The Ultimate Theory (For Now)/@comment-15108745-20130814165402/@comment-11188061-20130814175217

Well, like I said the common belief plus some of the stuff in my theory would actually explain these better (because as much as I love Monty Oum's skill in crafting action sequences, so far the writing was mostly inept... you all should know how bad I felt about the current Weiss' character by now lol...) but for the sake of the theory...

I should say not entirely a cover up. The sentence itself 'mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry' is not a lie, just not what most people would imagine it to be. While most people would think 'mined' as in 'mined from underground', in this case it would be 'mined from people' instead. Pretty evil eh?

Most likely Weiss herself was not shown or told of the true process, and I believe that at most she has only visited the front part where Dust was created and purified. She never saw what actually generated the Dust, and obviously this would be another chance for character development when the truth was revealed.
