I don't see a reason for that, I think Oobleck's entire point was that Ruby wasn't going to do anything with 1-5 rounds of CR to a Goliath, except piss off an entire herd that could kill 1-2 hunters with ease(the entire force they could reasonably bring to bear as a squad likely equating to 1-3 normal hunters as Oobleck is mostly a non-combat scout and RWBY is a first year squad). You also need to consider that RWBY was tired and setting up camp to restore aura from a rather full day of fighting, I would wager that RWBY could match 2-5 goliaths working as a team when fully rested, but as Oobleck said, why bother? if they aren't agro and headed toward civilization, they don't need die, besides which the resulting battle would have been definitely loud enough it would have been tantamount to ironwoods idiotic suggestion of sending in the army, except in Ironwoods plan, there would have been firepower to defend against the WF if they intervened in such an idiotically ill-advised battle, which Rwby wouldn't have.
