Oh yea I saw that one and I thought you were awesome for clearing it up XD. Because I-like now- believed that Ozpin was just doing his job. It wasn't the time of place to be "You..have silver eyes". It was the time to be "All I see is wasted energy".

Hmm I'm sorry, I still don't see it. I think it was because it was a serious speech, telling our protagonist that knowledge isn't always power, and that they must take make an effort. Granted, Ruby did say that, but remember it's because she met him in a different setting, under a different atmosphere. I dare say she spoke with the "real" Ozpin(figuartively speaking of course). It's not uncommon for kind hearted instructors to change their demeanor for a public annoucement such as this.
