Lack of power = weak. This is one of those situations where a thesaurus comes in handy....you can see antonyms, too! Powerless is the opposite of powerful. Powerless = weak. Powerful = strong. Your argument is just ridiculous at this point. And yet - Scott performs as well as any other Alpha in equal circumstance.

So, because the twins said he needed to give in to the beast to be more powerful - and Scott didn't (a few months ago BTW) he is forever weak?

What does that make Derek? He performed as well as Scott did with his new betas on their first full moon.

Scott actually may have performed better since he was able to talk his Alpha down instead of getting slashed up repeatedly.

Actually, that's not fair to Derek. The Beta he was trying to handle on his own, the one that knocked him on his ass and then slashed him very effectively, was focused on getting at him. Scott's Beta was focused on getting away from Scott - so maybe that's why he suffered so little damage in subduing him.
