Did she say how Grimm are born, why they want to kill mankind so relentlessly, or even what they are? No, she just said what most people in Remnant would know.

So yes, she's clearly reading from cue cards for the most part in the WoR, more than stating the actual facts.

2-That is an assumption, and you know it. And depending on where exactly she is, the distance could be absurdly high for her to sense them.

3-When was it stated Qrow infiltrated her domain? It never was.

4-And what happened to Raven? Come on, explain.

5-Oh, sure, the one known person alive with a power so great she could freeze the ancient, nigh-unstoppable Dragon in one shot. Obviously not a threat, especially not after she spends some time training and mastering those powers.

Dude, do you treat Wise and Manipulative as synonimous with Foolish and Blind?

6-And yet most of your reasons for not believing the theory, are assumptions of questionable degrees of acceptability. 1. Did you really expect her to reveal the whole truth in such a short time? No, that wouldn't be good storytelling, we learned the basics in the WoR videos, the more advanced stuff will be revealed in time.

2. Maybe distance would be an issue, but if someone makes enough "noise" to get her attention, then she'd know for sure. If the theory is indeed true, that is.

3. And how else could Qrow find out "the things she's made," which out his own life at risk? That tells me he infiltrated Salem's domain, found out what Ozpin needed, and got out before he got caught. If he was Salem's descendant, the risk of him getting caught in that instance are immensely greater than a regular Huntsman.

4. I wouldn't be surprised if Salem was somehow involved, either that or Ozpin gave her a "special mission," from which she never returned. Something along these lines anyway.

5. Summer Rose was a much bigger threat, yet even she failed in the end, can we expect Ruby to fare any better? Clearly Salem does not, that's the point I was trying to make.

6. If it's confirmed by RT, there'll be no point in refuting it then. But for now, I'll stick to my opinion until the show tells us otherwise.
