Maybe if I put it another way it'll help. Sometimes talking to fans about a criticism for something they like can be too close to home and can keep them to accepting a flaw in it. How about this: In the show "Vixen". The character gets kidnapped and dragged to a African village where she was born. Also where the villain explains the suffering their people and their intent to use a power Vix' has to protect the what's left of their people. Vixen beats the villain for being power-mad and heads back to the US to protect Detroit. Because even though she was born in Africa apparently Detroit is her "home". So basically, fuck Africa. Time to go to the nation that is full of heroes and be one more hero there saving it rather than go to a place almost devoid of heroes and save it.

It doesn't add up. IMO that's either selfish or nonsensical. And that nonsense is what I feel towards what decision the adults make in RWBY. They seem to be functional idiots. So much neglect to obvious problems. They're able to be very smart in their fields, but lacking common sense or practicality. They seems to make short-sighted decisions that reverberate through the whole series. Oz telling Ironwood not to have the ships overhead makes sense. But that doesn't mean couldn't have had Atlas Army researching what was going on in Mountain Glenn when Torch was there. After they captured Roman they should've went them the remains of the train and the railroad they came down and looked for anything they could salvage to point them at the real culprits behind Torch.

For that matter why didn't Atlas and Ironwood shoot down the Nevermores and Griffons when they were on their way to the Vytal Fest dome? Torch didn't get broken out and take over the comms of the ships until after the Griffons arrived.

There's a trail line moving through the Ever Fall shipping people and goods and tech but no human personale guards? If it's a Schnee train from their mines, why no Atlas guards there? All the guards were robots. Did none of them robot not record images of Blake and Adam and send it to the main computers back at Atlas?
