Nikoli the rebel wrote: " because her bias doesn't affect whether or not they actually did kidnap and kill people close to the Schnees and steal from the SDC." Just no. Pyschologists have shown that recollections and flashbulb memories are prone to corruption. An article out of Pyschologist today:  https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/ulterior-motives/201506/the-consistency-flashbulb-memories

quote from article: "Despite their memory confidence, when the detials of their memories were compared to the initial survey taken within 10 days of 9/11 there were significant inconsistancies. 1 year after the event, only about 2/3 of what people remembered was accurate... After 10 years people were 60% accurate."

and

"...they [flashbulb memories] are probably more accurate than memories from most events that took place 10 years ago."

Which implies regular memories are even less accurate than flashbulb memories.

Memories from Weiss and Blake are NOT sourceable material. Even the facts of the events are not sourceable. Stop using this as evidence. All we have is the WoR on Faunus. Please keep all of your evidence confined to that episode or events we have actually seen in the show. Do you really, seriously think for a single second that Miles and Kerry would use psychology like that in RWBY? Really? Weiss and Blake are not real life people, they're characters written by two guys who have questionable writing skills. Do you seriously believe that they would actually make a psychological phenomenon like that one a plot device? I don't.
