Deaton told Stiles it had to be him, not Scott. And if it were simply because he was human, Allison could've done it.

Just because they decided to drop that story line and you're too stubborn to see it, doesn't change the fact that when that scene was written, it was absolutely supposed to be showing magic happening. I think you are putting too much stock in the '50ft of ash left' line, when he also said he only had a handful left. The '50ft of ash' line could absolutely have been referencing how far he had to go. You're just trying to rationalize a story line they introduced, and never expanded on. But I'm done arguing about it. Believe what you will.
