Inside another dead body. It's the last place they'll lookA corpse within a corpse.
CORPSEPTION.Win.
Sticking with the religious meaning of canon, Cmdr, what Bungie did to the Battle of Reach is like the Pope holding mass in Rome tomorrow, and suddenly saying there were actually 23 disciples and that Jesus was actually hung on the cross when he was closer to 50, rather than 20-25, and it was after going to war with the Roman Empire, which no-one knew or had discovered until today.
And then re-writing the Bible to accommodate it. Just how many people do you think would accept that?
I take the same viewpoint on canon, and thus this forum.
Canon is something to be learned and studied, so it can be suitably, intelligently discussed and at great length.
If it is changed, that means that people are now wrong when they weren't before and have to learn the new information.
This is a fictional Universe, so should be incredibly easy to avoid such issues of overtreading and replacing and changing canon - you can just write a new piece of canon that is separate.
I really don't think the argument 'it's fictional, so who cares' (a sentiment shared by an unfortunately large proportion of this forum) does or even should wash.
