The fact that they said not an android, not a robot, but a synthetic person, means that there's more behind Penny's creation beyond mechanical parts.

Called the fact that Penny does have an Aura. It's obvious really; she acts like a human, thinks like a human, feels like a human, so we can assume accurately that she has a soul. And if she has a soul, then she has Aura as well.

People seem to miss the other fact that the Paladin is dispensible, because it's not the only one they have.
