Ok don't quote me on this as I do agree with your statement, the only thing is, the answers bungie gave us are a tad... unlikley.
1: Bungie stated that, although the invasion didnt happen until the 30th, a scouting force landed on reach between 24th-29th.
ERROR: why then, didnt ONI allready flush every computers nav data, and why didnt they prepare all the apparently non-existant mac cannons and planet-side defences for battle?
2:The explanation for the lack of mac cannons is that they were in space, just not in the area that long night of solace took place!
ERROR: wait, so their saying that reach only had defences on one side?
3: The explanation for cortana on reach is that the Cortana that the chief and the POA was given was a copy, the real Cortana was still on reach helping Dr halsey. When Noble team delivered the real cortana to the POA, the copy and the real one combined, thus making the cortana we know today.
ERROR: The POA shouldnt have been planetside in the first place, see below.
4: The explanation for the pillar of autumn on reach is that the chief and his team were deployed on the circumference as the POA was making its way planetside for "repairs". The Chief was then picked back up on the POA's way off the planet.
ERROR: So the POA landed on reach, got the rocket pod thingies attached to it, got its armour upgraded and got the rest of Cortana delivered to it in under an hour?

Anyway once again, please dont take my word on this but I heard a rumor that halo reach's story was originally going to follow the whole of RED (Johns team) and BLUE (planetside teams) but the story was changed halfway through production because Bungie believed retelling the story of Fall of Reach was boring for the hardcore fans who new the story front to back.
My proof for this is in the video below where you can see from the 09 trailer that James (Spartan 005) is floating in space besides what appears to be the "circumference"

thankyou for reading my ridiculously long post.
P.S: PAGE 117 WOOT WOOT!
1. How do you know that the Circumference was present at Reach the whole entire time the battle was going on? And besides which, all records of the ships very existence had been wiped from the station, it technically did not exist. In addition, ONI seems to be rather loathe to delete their own data unless absolutely necessary. Like for instance SWORD Base wasn't ordered destroyed until around the 29th. And where the bleeding frakking hell did you get the idea that the SMACs and other ODPs are now nonexistent?
2. No, that's not what they're saying at all. They're saying we can't see the SMACs from where we are on the planet. Do you know how big the area around a planet is? It's pretty damn large, you're not going to be able to see everything in orbit around the planet unless it is a very large object. Like for instance in Halo 2, there are about 200+ ODPs around Earth, yet from the angles we see Earth and the defenses, we can only see maybe 5 or so stations at once. This is the same deal with Reach.
3. and 4. First of all you have it backwards, the "real" Cortana is still on the Autumn where she's always been, the subroutine that Halsey broke off is what is studying the SWORD Artifact.
And where did you get the idea that the Autumn landed on Reach while Blue Team was taking out the Circumference's NAV Data? It can't have done that because of the time stamps from both the game and the book. The last level of Reach (Pillar of Autumn) takes place at approximately 16:20 (4:20 P.M. for those who don't know Military Time) and the Autumn's role in the space battle in TFoR is taking place at around 0600-0615 hours (6:00-6:15 A.M.). Now this going into my own personal opinion. Personally I think the Autumn went planet side after picking up the marines and the remnants of Blue Team on Gamma Station.
And as for the rest, you got the Spartan teams backwards. Blue was John's team and they went to take out the NAV Data on Gamma Station. Red Team is the group that was sent down to the planet to defend the Generator Complex.
And do you have a source for the rest of that?
