Err, okay...sounds great. I just wish you would use words that sound less formal; it's reminding me too much of my long-winded professors. Not to mention it's hard to understand when your brain has been fried and you're going to the RWBY forum to find some relief only to get this scientific hypothesis.

My apologies for the didactic nature of my previous posts. However, I suspect that it couldn't really be helped. When holding forth on a given point, I prefer to elucidate my reasoning as much as I can so as to eliminate as much ambiguity as possible. Likewise, that sometimes requires the use of "formal-sounding" language, simply because that will oftentimes offer greater precision (which, in a purely text-based medium, is not only invaluable, but very nearly a necessity).

Also, if I may nitpick for a moment; the previous posts did not rise to the level of a (scientific) hypothesis. Rather, as I mentioned above, they were abductive reasoning, which is making inferences to the best explanation, without guaranteeing the conclusion(s) reached. Oh for goodness sake, fine abductive reasoning or whatever you wanna call it; not everyone is as eloquent as you are and not everyone is amazing at critical thinking skills or whatever fancy word that is called. Besides, my brain was friend at that time; if you can think clearly and coherently after an intense lecture about the stereochemistry of organic molecules, then I applaud you.

Also, how on earth did we get from JNPR dorm rooms to whether Beacon offers sex-ed? This discussion isn't even fun anymore, it may be for you guys but I get headaches just looking at those long posts with sophicated words that I need to squint and read three times over in order to understand. -sighs- I'll come back when ithe discussion ends.
