Maybe they were just telling us how the characters view it since only the writers have absolute knowledge of the rules and they didn't want to give us the full details. Why wouldn't they give us the full details? And besides, that's a shame then since their absolute knowledge depends entirely on the decisions/time management of the animation department.

 We didn't see Yang's aura depletion when she hits the ground, despite Miles openly stating (//youtu.be/wdUMisVDijM?t=50m59s)

Like CRWBY saying in Behind the Episode that they made a mistake with Leo's shield, applying the wrong colours for both the magma and stone dust he used

Every single (literally) bloody time we see a distracted character injured/impaled there is consistently no sheen over their bodies to emphasise their passive baseline auras were just broken

In the training segment they showed what was presumably Ozpin's aura overlaying Oscar's when he took over (//youtu.be/tHg08RnpSqY?t=5m27s), but in yesterday's episode him doing that again showed no such effects  For the sake of fanfiction writers it seems like M&K's aura rules should be rewritten along the lines of Only if broken during its active use does depleted aura visibly sheen over and Like what willpower is to a Green Lantern ring, the more a character focuses their aura over an area of the body, the more its damage protection is raised above the baseline
