hypocrisy -

the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.

Subverting Cordo's Authority is only hypocrisy if they themselves were trying to impose an authority they didn't want subverted. They weren't trying to impose an authority. They were trying to get from Point A to Point B.

So, please enlighten me. How in the flying fuck is this any form of hypocrisy? And I don't want to do mental gymnastics either so give me a straight answer. It isn't on a personal level, but on the public level it is. If you go to your boss and tell them you didn't do your job, but don't worry I had reasons I can't tell you about, would he be out of rights to fire you? No, it is in fact his obligation to do so.

This situation is similar, Cordo was doing her job, then RWBY interfered in a situation that is entirely their fault without the evidence to the contrary which they cannot provide, for Cordo to apologize while they don't would be hypocritical to any bystander, though not from the perspective of us the viewer because we KNOW their reasons.
