Which means that if it was her sister or mother it would make no difference. That's what I'm getting at. You say that it's bad storytelling so the idea of a twin sister is a no but does being the mother instead of the sister really makes a difference about how good the story is? That's your argument to counter the theory of Raven being Yang's argument. It's bad storytelling. Please, like I said, when does RWBY ever said that it has ultimately good storytelling? That doesn't define what's going to happen or if an idea is more valid than the other.

Plus if you're explaining it with speculation then the theory of a twin sister can also be fully explained and justified as good storytelling depending on how they handle it. For example, they can always tell us Raven's story which also explains a few loose ends about the mother and then bring the continuation of her meeting with Yang. The thing is, you can't judge it based on that, much less judge a theory. It is a theory after all.
