Furthermore, almost everything that Paul said regarding Lydia inheriting her ability has been implied, or learned from conjecture made on-screen, and there is STILL an opportunity to change things up and surprise us. You can't just make those possibilities dissappear.

Not to mention, Paul still has not given a decent argument to discredit that careless writing of the script he keeps using as a possibility.

Also, this THEORY is based off the assumption that Deaton is ALWAYS correct. Paul even discredited GENERATIONS of hunters because their opinion on banshees could possibly clash with his headcanon. To Paul, Deaton is more of an expert on all things supernatural because.... wait, why exactly is that? Another words, there is NO reason shown in show for trusting Deaton's opinion over the Argents'. Must be because that's the way he wants things to be, and it will change when it suits him. (Prove me wrong, Paul.)

This is where Paul will come in and say that the Bestiary doesn't count, because the banshee page was never shown on screen. Unfortunately, that doesn't change the arguments he made above that Deaton's word holds more weight than the Argents'.... which illustrates just how much Paul is moving away from what is canon to push his own opinion, regardless of what we actually know.

The cold hard facts:

* Pauls theory could very easily end up being correct, and banshees could be non-supernatural by Teen Wolf canon.

* There are at least three other possibilities.... that we can easily think.

* We really don't know squat (and that means Paul, too).

* Paul's theory is just that, a theory, and headcanon.
