By that same logic, he could have chosen Blake or Yang, Ren or Nora, people who neither have gotten a leadership role.

And if he chose Ruby and Jaune because they were socially awkward, then why not Blake, who fell more into Anti-Social instead, and as such could have used the help a lot more.

Also, don't include CRDL. Their extremely unnecesary and cliché bullying of Jaune came long after he was chosen as a leader, so they do not influence at all in Ozpin's decision.

You may well stop. You're trying to give it an explanation, but the explanation falls flat because it means other people that could have deserved the role more were available yet were not chosen. Other people that were more than socially awkward and as such needed more help, were available and not chosen.

Plus, from an emotional point of view it may make sense (to you), but from a practical point of view, it's bullshit. No one with half a brain would choose a socially awkward girl who sometimes Leeroy Jenkins and doesn't even think of her teammates or what they're doing before attacking, as a leader. No one would chose someone who has no academic or combat skills, lied to who knows how many people, and yet still acted with ego (at first), as a leader.

And don't even try to give me the "Jaune proved he has tactical skills!" example. Considering those skills haven't appeared anymore after Ep8, and did not appear before Ep8, I'm going to pretend they don't exist until they do.
