i didn't ay they weren't his creators, simply that the definition of Forerunner, the word he used when speaking to us in english, doesn't indicate guaranteed genetic ancestry. It's a possibly, sure, but the primary definition is simply basically the ones who came before. Just because it's a capitalized pronoun in English doesn't mean that's what their actual name is in 343's language

I respect some of the logic behind the "the forerunners weren't human" argument but at this point I think the clues pointing that way are kind of like the clues pointing to Paul being dead so many years ago . . .

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if some permutation of fate & ancestry arose to explain the link beyond anything we've surmised so far.


OT: It does seem to me though (I know it's OT but still pertinent) that assuming the 'Precursors' actually achieved some blissful transsentient spiritual existence is kind of naive; it's the same manner of understanding the past that the Covenant took, right? The Forerunners with their Great Journey--more likely the transsentience the Precursors achieved involved an infection form to the spinal cord.
