So you see facts, and instead of correcting yourself you call plot induced incompetence? Are you serious?

Let me put it this way: that you would assume first that an android's laser that can cut apart bloody airplanes but cannot kill living beings, over an android having see through vision and angled her laser so it won't hit the living beings, is some of the most ridiculously flawed common sense I've seen so far. And I know mine in this case is at least still intact, because they're not pointing their theoretical fingers at me.

By the way, it's hilarious that you want proof, because your own theories are all speculations with no facts to back it up. For example, I can tear your 'laser can't kill people' theory right now. Remember when Jaune was walking around Emerald Forest and got whacked by a tree branch? He bled, from a bloody tree branch because his ''Aura isn't unlocked yet. ''So guess what the heck happens when a freaking laser 'oinks' over your biological body?

Now then. Unless you want to say that every White Fang grunt had their Auras unlocked, which surprise! Y''ou can't prove it at all! But I can circumstantially prove mine because Aura unlocking knowledge isn't common in public! ''I suggest you follow your own advice and keep your trap shut.

Lastly, I'm not downplaying any 'factors' here. I treat them as objective factors. I see Team RWBY as a highly offensive team, with their single biggest weakness being their defenses are very poor. Team JNPR is theoretically a much more balanced team than Team RWBY already, because they have a future 'tanker' and control tower (Jaune) who will be able to cover their backs, with a top class All Rounder, top class pure melee fighter and utility-based supporting attacker. Remember that Team JNPR took it to the last man to nearly beat Team RWBY with just 3 actual combatants in their team.

So point. Penny has shown herself to have superior defense (stopping a truck with ease), superior long-ranged firepower (laser beams with crazy range and power), superior close-ranged combat (eight freely controlled spinning blades with potentially long ranged capabilities). The only one she hasn't shown to the crowd is speed, but if we see this as a game (which btw, is something the RWBY-verse is built around from the beginning) that is already a lot of highly spiked stats Penny has that no one in Team RWBY can boast to possess just as much.
