1-How utterly ridiculous. What's the point in monitoring, training, and protecting these super-powered individuals if you have no intention of deploying them against the biggest existential threat facing mankind?

1.2-he fact she was alone and seemed to be arriving in a country area from the direction of the mountains, suggests she was coming back from a mission of some sort out in more tense Grimm territory.

2-First off, we know there are settlements outside the Kingdoms so it isn't outlandish for there to be signs of civilization in areas where there are a lot of Grimm. Secondly, most of those showing up were the weak ones. There were some tougher ones, but the bulk were regular Beowolves, Ursi, and Boarbatusks.

3-Her actions during the initiation showed no real experience, just good Aura and weapons training and fearlessness. Amber

4-No, we don't really have any reason to believe Ruby has good field experience and every reason to believe that a super-powered individual would be used to fight the greatest threat to human civilization.

5-If he literally chased after Nora riding an Ursa then him being tired is about more than just fighting a Grimm using primarily Aura.

6-It is truly amazing. You are just assuming that the person who is one of four people with a great magical power under the watch and protection of some of the biggest players in Remnant is somehow not even going to be as capable as a first-year student in a high-school/university setting. Never mind that we have seen her fight and she is obviously no slouch.

7-You all are really just assuming this "negative emotion detector" works like goddamned homing radar. There is not a thing to indicate their abilities to detect negativity are so precise, assuming she cannot suppress negative emotions and that a single person's negative emotions are even going to be picked up with all the negative emotions coming from elsewhere. Natural cover does work both ways, but generally Grimm are not as intelligent as people and thus not as good at taking advantage of it.

8-I have addressed all your points and all I am doing is allowing for the possibility of something rather than scrambling for excuses to not allow the possibility of something. Are you not cognizant of how ridiculous it is for you to complain about me "dismissing your points" when this whole discussion is just one really long-ass attempt to dismiss speculation you do not like?

9-I'm not even being remotely arrogant.

10-Literally all I am trying to allow is that the Ambyrrha theory is possible and not a radical outside possibility at that, but well within reason. Should you want me to stop calling you arrogant, then you should stop making pronouncements like above about Amber not being a soldier when you have absolutely no basis for making such pronouncements. 1-Well, for starters, it would be contradictory to protect the Maidens to send them to their possible deaths against Grimm. Also, since Salem controls the Grimm (reasonable assumption at least, here), do you think Ozpin would risk the Maidens being anywhere close to her territory without at least a guardian?

1.2-It also suggests she was traveling around the countryside. Nothing suggests she was on a mission or coming back from one.

2-These settlements don't normally last though. And yes, for every tough Grimm in Beacon there were about 12 mook ones.....so? There are still hundreds Grimm in Beacon, on air and ground, and they are attracted to the Dragon, heading where it is. Where's the Dragon again?

3-Her actions during the initiation showed no real Team experience. She was used to fighting alone, not alongside others, even less people she didn't even know. She knew how to fight Grimm more than well enough, just not how to fight Grimm with others well enough

4-Nope, we have every reason to believe Ruby had field experience prior to Beacon, and no real reason to believe Amber does.

5-Yes, it means he ran a lot at the very least, possibly had more fights after the Taijitu on the way. Now, in your little theory, Amber would have to run more and would likely need to fight more than Ren did at that time. Of course, check my following point.

6-Actually, I was saying that she would not necesarily have as poor stamina as Ren, or be as (physically) strong as he is, or know how to do the Aura Techniques he did (at least to the same extent). IOW: She may have more stamina, be just as strong, but not know the techniques, for example. Also, she relied a bit too much on her Maiden powers during her fight, just saying.

7-I assume it works like super awareness; they feel the presence. I could also say it works like smell if not like a radar. These are all perfectly reasonable assumptions. When I say it works both ways, I did not mean that the Grimm would hide and wait or something like that. I meant more that, while they would have a harder time seeing Amber, she would have a harder time seeing them as well, but unlike Amber, the Grimm can sense any negative emotions she has so they have an easier time noticing her than she does to them.

8-This is an argument about a theory, child. There need to be points argued between both sides that both support and deny it. You can't expect everyone to inmediately agree with the Ambyrrha Theory. We don't think it's possible, and give our points for why. Just because you are the only one supporting it it doesn't change or mean anything.

9-That sounds like arrogance.

10-Our basis lie in logical reasoning, at least mine. Not too different from yours, only that your reasonings are less logical, more "assumption". Or more exactly, we got reasonable assumptions, yours are more often than not just assumptions. If you disagree, what are your basis for your points? Do you think your points actually have a solid basis, at least compared to ours?
