The plural of a word is often used to generalize. "Isn't killing arrancars a waste?" could still be referring to one person. Since he HAS killed and/or would of killed fellow non-arrancar members of the Vandenreich out of ruthlessness or just getting in the way of a fight, his severing of an arm of a trouble making Quincy is no surprise. Ebern, on the other hand, was being loyal and didn't start the fight or make huge assumptions. That's what a waste meant.

Since the plural of a word is used to generalize in that sort of sentence, and he, a Quincy, asked Yamamoto to guess he was a Quincy, and there are no signs at all he is an arrancar in the slightest...

...why are we labeling him an arrancar? He lacks both any mask or even limb removal resistance. and we can't make assumptions for a wiki. The division between Quincy and Arrancar/Hybrids, and Yamamoto's recognition is far more proof.

Specks=Mask is a baseless assumption. No mask, no arrancar. Isn't that the end of it?
