Rukia listens to Castiel's words, finding herself slightly skeptical, but she's also fully aware that her bias comes from her own experience. Her bias stems from the time Urahara had her wear a device that slowly stripped her of her spiritual power, binding her to a physical body, to the point where had she not discovered the nature of his actions, she would have been turned functionally human. And perhaps it wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world, to experience something she was stripped prematurely of in the first place, but it had been a violation of her free will.
And perhaps even more importantly than that, Rukia knew that all of her experience and knowledge wasn't meant to be in the hands of a human.
"I don't think that what you are is the driver behind this volatility you mention," Rukia says quietly. "I have not known many angels, but you describe pride, anger, despair — all these things can be found in humans as well. The only difference is that they don't wield the same degree of power that we do. Is that better? Is that worse? I don't think morality is really a factor."
