They may not know how good Merc's Aura is. Or overestimate Yang's punches ("yes, she may have destroyed a mini mecha, but it was Semblance boosted, not every punch is a nuke").

Or maybe they were doing something that happens often in real life: Judge more based on what they see than what they inquire. They saw what they saw, and is normal to trust more what you see than what you think, even if you think that what you saw doesn't make as much sense as it should.
