Except your rant is little more than "Monty does this, Monty says that". And news flash, he hasn't been involved in the show since Vol.2 for obvious reasons. Everything else is Miles and Kerry, who are not Monty and don't do the same things he does, in a good and a bad sense.

At the same time, Monty wrote from the seat of his pants and if he got a new idea that he liked he would slam it onto the show with no regard for everything else. That's how we got the Maidens. That's why we got Penny slicing planes in Vol.1. And so on. So even if he told them X, it doesn't mean X is canon at this point.

Another problem with your argument is that you are assuming that just because they were friends, he told them everything and so the VAs know as much about the show and characters as the writers themselves. Which is simply fallacious, unless you can prove it was the case.

Monty discussed his ideas mainly with Miles and Kerry, who were the writers. They basically built RWBY together after Monty came up with the base premise and the ketchup map. That is known. Now can you prove that the VAs had the same or even similar level of involvement, or that they know as much as MMK and thus their words are "stone-hard facts"? Being friends doesn't mean he gave them the whole Bible.

It's different from when people accuse someone at RT of lying; no one is saying the VAs are bullshiting, people are just seeing that the VA is just saying what they think based on what they know, which isn't necesarily a fact. Word of Saint Paul =/= Word of God.
