For example, look at that thread where Sean tried to pass off Scott being in "full shift" in the episode where Victoria Argent was trying to kill him (even if it was just him being confused by the "full shift, beast sift, and partial shift" concept) as canon. He tried to pass something that was non-canon as canon and was reprimanded for it. The key is in the phrasing.

We can speculate that Tinkerbell may come to Beacon Hills and cause problems; but we can't state that Tinkerbell will come to Beacon Hills and cause problems. See the difference?

@Gode: unless you're the writer of the show, or that specific line, we don't know if it was a joke or not. Considering she was grinning after she said that suggests, at least to me, that she was making a joke. But hey, that's just my speculation.

One final thing about "simple logic:"

Sure, the show leaves hints that werewolves do age slower that humans, and logic would certainly help you reach that conclusion. However, in a show that almost constantly defies logic, what is stated in canon has the final word. Since canon hasn't stated anything about it, yet, we cannot definitively say that it's true. While I agree that I cannot look in the writer's head, if you watch the Scene you will see that it wasn't a one liner that could be interpreted as sarcasm or as a joke. I don't remember the exact Quote, but she was basically telling Stiles that human Age wasn't very significant as Werewolves run on another clock.
