But of course, until we have the final answer, it is, unfortunately, only a theory. Do we even have proof the Precursor existed? Their existence is spoken by the Forerunner as a "theoretical ceiling". You said it yourself- why didn't the Precursor help the Forerunner? So isn't it possible that the Precursor were only made up by the Forerunner as deities, to give the Forerunner a purpose in their existence?
Possible--but then, the question, why would humankind have given them clues of their own existence? Cryptum unveils a war between the two races some thousands (tens of?) before the activation of the Halo array, but unless a trans-light species managed to forget much since that war, humankind would solve nothing for them.
Maybe everything you said is true, but it wasn't the Precursor, it was the Forerunner?
That much, at least, we know cannot be the case. There is documentation of where the Forerunner found the Flood and the war that they had with them.
