That's not a counter argument, that's just insinuating hostility after a counter argument was made. Which is frankly short-sighted when the debate is something as trivial as the speed of an enemy which holds no narrative weight in the story.

If you go to the Qrow-Tyrian fight, Ruby tries to follow the movement of the two through Crescent Rose to no success. Assuming Ace-Ops are within the same level as the two (which there isn't a reason to doubt given they're stated to be the best in Atlas), it's a safe assumption to say they're comparetively faster than the main kids. You also see the blur effect when the citizens are watching Winter and Qrow fight.
