I agree with you in that evidence should be cited, rather than just making a guess or putting it apples to apples. However, if you go to the [[LAU-65D/SGM-151]] page, you'll see that the last trivia excerpt is basically the same kind of speculation I've been making. No evidence is cited; the fact is there because the Missile Pod really does act like the Javelin, much the same as the Lancer would act as a Maverick. Future or not, an air launched, ground directed missile would still act in the same way as AGMs of modern day. As for the Pelican, its theory here, because if you study lifting body principles, as well as many other aerodynamical research studies, you will see that this is indeed a very real possibility for the Pelican. Perhaps all theories (lifting body and powerful propulsion) are correct. But they should still be mentioned, and the evidence exists on Wikipedia, on the lifting body page. I'd try and draw an image for you explaining how the air flow across the Pelican's fuselage works, but I'm not good at that kind of stuff. | I agree with you in that evidence should be cited, rather than just making a guess or putting it apples to apples.

On [[Talk:Ross-Ziegler Blip|this page]] , Plasma Physics and I have just wrapped up a discussion about whether the Ross-Ziegler Blip is really a canon contradiction or whether it is actually consistent with how the Halo Array works. The latter has been proven, but Plasma Physics feels the inconsistency should be left noted on the page because that's policy and that the Blip a mistake is the first assumption. I disagree, since it's been known since Halo 1 that the Array works by destroying bio-mass, thus it is not a mistake but he suggested I ask you. Read the talk page, then tell me, what do you say?[[User:Tuckerscreator|'''Tuckerscreator''']] 04:37, April 26, 2010 (UTC) | On [[Talk:Ross-Ziegler Blip|this page]] , Plasma Physics and I have just wrapped up a discussion about whether the Ross-Ziegler Blip is really a canon contradiction or whether it is actually consistent with how the Halo Array works.
