Just as a writing point of view though. This would be a really clever thing to do. While both sides of this theory have evidence to prove their views, personally I just think it would be more interesting if they reveal that Yang and Rose are not sisters. Suddenly everything in their lives would change, and while they could give a cliche easy fall back into sisterhood even though they wouldn't be half-sisters, it would be an interesting dynamic to see play through the show. How would it affect Yang's temper, and Ruby's Childlike spirit after being lied too for essentially their whole lives?

Perhaps, Summer didn't know it was Qrow's after a fling, or possibly didn't think it was the right time to tell them, and Taiyang never had the heart. Even though Monty did say out right that Qrow was not Rose's father, maybe he kept it up just to make the reveal more shocking. No one would reveal a plot twist so simply. In honesty I also love Yang and Rose's mushed up family dynamic now, they already have a lot of secrets in their family that we don't know about. Either way the writers have decided to take this whole thing, I am sure it will be thrilling!
