::::Again, thanks for listening and for all the great additions! I imagine it was a little tense but I think this has worked out just fine. [[User:TNS22|TNS22]] ([[User talk:TNS22|talk]]) 12:36, December 20, 2022 (EST)

:::::Glad to have this resolved. For the record, I actually agree with your points (and interpretation of Russel's tweets ''and'' the terminals) as do several others in the team. It was mostly just a matter of phrasing things right.

:::::To clarify: ''Contact Harvest'' is not an ''explicit'' contradiction because the information is presented to us by an in-universe character (Mendicant Bias) who may be mistaken. Now, this was almost certainly not Joe Staten's intent at the time, but it's a reasonable interpretation in a scenario where humans and Forerunners are biologically near-identical, same with Truth, Guilty Spark, or the Gravemind alluding to humans as being Forerunners. It only becomes a contradiction after the Forerunner Saga clearly establishes them as distinct species, to the point that them being mistaken for the same one isn't as likely anymore. Nevertheless, I see your point about that sentence and it's been changed. --[[User:Tacitus|Tacitus]] ([[User talk:Tacitus|talk]]) 13:19, December 20, 2022 (EST)
