Inconsistency in the way it's presented. Yuna speaks as if the teachings have never been questioned, when she visibly and publicly defeated Sin without the use of the final aeon only three years prior.
The public, which the majority resented the sacrificial process of the summoner's pilgrimage, would not so eagerly endorse such a controversial and ostensibly unnecessary way of defeating Sin.
It wasn't challenged at all, which leads to a proposed inconsistency.
Nojima obviously has reasons for why the characters are doing what they are doing, so it's only seen as an inconsistency for now with the information we currently have.
For the matter of Jecht, he was defeated under special circumstances, that is true. Sin's reincarnation this time could be different from previous as well, leading to speculation upon the necessary way to conquer it.
However, just because Jecht's Sin was subdued under apparent unrepeatable pretenses doesn't mean Yuna would so assuredly proclaim the final aeon will be summoned to the public.
This leads to the concept that there must be an ulterior motive for Yuna or some missing plot information that's yet to be revealed, as otherwise it wouldn't make sense for them to discard the revelation that comes from disregarding Yevon dogma just three years prior.
As for the final aeon being created by strong bonds, this new information gives birth to two theories:
- Either every aeon is created by sacrificing a person with meaningful connections,
or
- The final aeon is simply an appreciated term for creating an extremely powerful aeon.
The sex-fayth method described in the novella could be referring to either theory. The woman summoner could've been trying to create a normal fayth or a special stronger fayth. The sex-fayth method exists to introduce a way in which one can bypass that strong-bond requirement.
