Here's my problem with this:

Did the animators really think. "Okay, so first Blake makes a fire clone, then a stone clone later on, so I'll put the Dust colors in this order..."

No, obviously not. Given the number of inconsistencies in a RWBY episode, I really don't think "observational" things should be allowed to be used, even if it seems obvious. We can present people the information and allow people to come to their own conclusions, but I don't agree with stating it as fact.

Chish didn't state it as fact, she just pointed out that in Volume 3 white Dust was used to make wind. So what she added can stay.

The problem with observations is that people can draw different conclusions from the episodes. If I observe that orange = fire because of the scene where Reese puts the orange Dust into her hoverboard, that's a perfectly reasonable observation. Same with purple = gravity. We'd have a huge never-ending debate about this that would go on forever.

I think it's just safer on all fronts to wait for a confirmation than to draw our own conclusions and be proven wrong down the road. But there's nothing wrong with presenting both sides of the argument.
