If it's put in material once, it's confirmation. They used it. That's about all there is to it.
No. The material is clear in that it is merely thought that the Precursors (well, actually, tier 0, not the Precursors in particular even) may have had these various technologies.
It's all theoretical and speculatory. In their words, they are perhaps creatures of "myth".
While that may be true, the material also clearly was referring to the Precursor as a more technologically advanced species than the Forerunner. While they may be "creatures of myth", they were still being spoken of as more advanced in a technological sense, which means that their technological level must have been known or at least speculated upon (and that they must have a technological level in the first place). The only tier above the Forerunner was 0, and the only species above the Forerunner were the Precursor. It adds up.
My apologies for "speaking as though this is truth". It's common sense. If you want to work right down to the nitty-gritty, no, it's not proven. But, like a good theorist, that's always in the back of my mind. If you're going to be a theorist at all, you have to start assuming things as fact at one point or another. If you don't know that, then you've got things you need to learn.
I'm very happy to continue by myself. I have no motivation except to dispell ignorance.
I'm sure you don't. Well, do me a favor and stop debating things that can be taken as relative common sense. It's demeaning to yourself.
