Unless they don't know.

If Qrow truly knew about the SEWs and the capabilities of their powers, why didn't he explain it, provide the facts, instead of just telling the tales of SEWs, which painted them in Paragons (and as such, never mentioned them using those powers on other people)?

Summer is dead, Raven is non-chalant, and I don't think Taiyang would've liked her to find out about those powers anytime soon (if he knew about them. Would be sad if he didn't). Even if Qrow would've been willing to tell her, he likely didn't know the trigger for those powers, so he likely didn't expect anything specific to cause them.

In other words, "In case of emotional breakdown....I don't know, roll on the ground and bark, see what happens".
