I mostly mean the fact that this episode made it explicitly clear that Salem does desire to destroy humanity and is fighting Ozpin because they have a disagreement over whether or not to commit genocide. I don't know that she actually desires to destroy it entirely. Just Ozpin's faction of it. I think her goal is the same as it was when they were together. To unite humanity as its new god.

And that genocide still would've resulted in a lower body count than the time inbetween has produced. And Grimm wouldn't have been an issue because Salem would still be on the LN side of things.
