When you bend the canon, you create larger and more far-reaching inconsistencies.
My definition of "bending the canon" must be off. If you don't mind, what is your definition of canon bending?
My point is, it seems odd when the prominent universe members post threads about canon errors (not just yours Caboose) and a member I've never recognized on the forum before comes up with a decent solution to the error. It makes me think some of the famous universers are either too lazy or don't care about the canon to try to fix it (though I have seen this similar behavior in veteran members who develop an apathy for their old style of helpful and courteous posting). Perhaps it is a side effect of being with B.net for so long. Anyway, this is turning into a topic for another thread.
You seem to assume that Mythic members must have all the answers and are unbiased, objective lorebraries.
That aside, just because I haven't responded to everyone's ideas about how to fix canon, does not mean they are not flawed and correct. So I can't judge and say, because I haven't taken time to sift through every one of them.
Bending canon, to me, means changing the rules of how the universe works. Giving the PoA thrusters to retcon it to be atmosphere capable? That's fine, that's retcon, not canon bending.
Now, since Halo: Reach says Reach takes quite a bit longer to fall, does that mean everything from the books is null and never happened, because the timelines no longer line up?
See, the funny part when you screw up your dates, is that it cascades into an ever growing cluster-blam!- until someone goes back in and fixes it. If Bungie didn't have plans to follow their canon so closely, why bother giving those details?
