By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Only humans can light the rings, because the Forerunner chose us as their predecessors
Successors, not predecessors. A predecessor is "one that came before", not after.

And in "Origins" Cortana is vergeing on rampancy, so nothing she says can be taken as trueMmm, I don't think you quite know what effects rampancy has on an AI. It doesn't make them liars. It makes them so smart they they begin to analyze themselves, the process of which completely destroys them.
Cortana could very well be past her 7 year mark (7 years is the expected lifespan of any Smart AI). But there are theories that she has SURPASSED rampancy apparently. But regardless of those theories- it seems to be that in the state she was in, she shouldn't be seen as lying. Rather she was more sane than she had ever been otherwise.
...Spooky.

Not entirely true. Cortana is trying to fill in the gaps where she wasn't present by making up her own interpretation of it, Frankie said not to take everything she says as gospel because she's going mad. I mean, the Gravemind did not simply hand her back to John.
