There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it

The books aren`t canon. Umm Yeah they are there all canon
Even the books contradict eachother... and themselves.
In Chapter 29 of tFoR, when Keys was making his flyby inspection of the PoA, it says that Keys notes that the Portside emergency thrusters were missing, when in the next few chapters they use those same "missing portside emergency thrusters" twice to save their lives.
This is just one example, another being the daste discrepancy of then the battle for Reach took place between the original tFoR and the re-released version.
There are a lot of these "mistakes" littered throughout the books and games. So I started thinking of canon as a present moment thing, that is subject to be rewritten over again. Although I hate to think that way, because in ten years, the story will be changed again, but there no other way to explain the complete disreguard of previously stated canon by Bungie.
The re-released Fall of Reach uses an original edit of the book with incorrect years, this has been stated already, many times, even by the publisher, author, etc.
Because of this, things that were fixed, or unfixed, in later issues are still mistakes. In the new version, which is actually the original print, it doesn't even mention the emergency portside thrusters.
Your argument is invalid, sorry.
How is it invalid, it exists in black and white. Seems chatty that there are that many mistakes, and they all couldn't be fixed a second time through. Sad really.
