Interesting thing, in  5A Ep 2, Deaton says that he's beginning to wonder if the rules aren't as rigid as he thought.

Your response:  The "rules aren't as rigid" refers to the Chimera only. That's a direct quote from you.

Not   EXACTLY  sure how you know 100% that Deaton was only referring to chimeras there, but let's overlook that for a moment.

Yet, here we have you using an entirely different discussion speaking  directly   about chimeras to make the conclusion that banshees are not supernatural entities.

What does this 5x03 scene show us? Well, two things, actually.

* Even supposing that Deaton NEVER says anything that is inaccurate (which has also been debunked), he's actually admitting that what he knows may not be completely true or accurate. Furthermore, when stating that supernaturals cannot cross mountain ash, he used the word SHOULD. It's actually canon at this point that Deaton is not always accurate. Therefore, you can not take what he says as canon, based on THAT canon. You can say that certain things are canon, IF Deaton is 100% correct and what he has said is absolute. Unfortunately, the show has SHOWN us that Deaton's word cannot be taken as gospel, in more than just one way.

* You pick and choose what you use and where to apply it to create what you refer to as "canon." That's called headcanon, my friend.
