You're understandably trying to make sense of a writing failure.

Indeed, the writers messed up the Arya Stark storyline:

  • The house of Black and White exposes Arya to the mysteries of the many-faced gods even though she is the opposite of being ready.
  • The kindly man has the most inappropriate person for the job terminate Arya.
  • Arya goes unpunishedentirely unsanctioned for killing MerrinMerryn Trant.
  • Arya, despite her long(ish) training, and supposedly being on the run from the HoBnW, walks around in the streets of Braavos like she hasn't gotten a care in the world - out of character you could say.
  • Arya is completely careless about the old woman; again, where's the training?
  • Arya survives sepsis from exposing her open wounds to sewege.
  • Arya heals at a super-human rate, and performs a terminator-like action sequence after having been stabbed just a few days before.
  • Waif performs her own T-1000 sequence, going against probably every other rule in the manual for faceless people.
  • As for the Arya-Waif fight... eh, ok, I guess I can sort of buy it, maybe.
  • The kindly man tells Arya she is now no one. SRSLY? No, just no.

So they broke the plot. I can see why would want to try and fix it with a contrivance such as it being the Waif rather than Arya, but - sorry, that's just not it.
