I Truly don't think you understand what i was posting if you think i was stating that to be the "normal" standard for anything as i never said or implied such. so atleast read before you make a post on how you are about how things have changed.
I am addressing most of the entirety of this thread who have resorted to the things that I described. Read the thread and the context of what I said will fit quite nicely. The generalisations that I outlined are plainly at the heart of your own, and everybody else's, arguments.

I haven't been using Gamma station as an Example because i don't clearly remember the encounter. Weren't the elites that went to the station jet pack elites? Seeing how they are lower in rank that might make the "normal standard" as you say lower than a major. It is even more clear that you came in this thread randomly ranting instead of reading with the post.
I have been following this thread since it started. I have a post on the first page. If there is going to be accusations of people not bothering to read posts or threads, then they will be directed at you for not knowing this. Secondly, I mentioned Gamma Station as it ties in to what I mentioned above. Also, Fallacy of Composition. You did it again.
In that encounter, the Elite was described as being one meter taller than John. John in Mjolnir is around 7 foot. 7 foot + 1 metre (3 foot) = 10 foot. That Elite was 10 foot. (Which is a bit ridiculous, but we know that Nylund has a tenancy to make up erratic numbers with the extremely low tonnage warships and the 11 ft tall Xytan Jar 'Wattinee.) That Elite clearly is not normal. Even if he was of normal height, you still could not prove to me that this Elite was within the normal parameters for their species strength and thus not anything like the Sangheili version of this guy, which is clearly again not normal.

A private in the army isn't going to have the same skill, or intellect as a captain which is the same here. An Elite major is going to have more discipline and control over physical strength than a minor.Which is why it is said that a major would be equal to an SII in physical strength. I believe the ranking structure is based off how many kills the elite has and i vaguely remember that being stated in the Flood and Cole protocol.
A Private is an Army rank.
A Captain is a Naval rank.
They are 2 completely different roles with completely different types of training, just to clear that up.
If you are referring to an Army Captain, then I do not see how you can reason that a close quarters physical fight between a Private and an Army Captain would have any sort of definitive outcome based solely on two titles. This is completely irrelevant. "Skill and intellect" in a close quarters fight has got nothing to do with merit and promotion in the Human armed services.
As for the Sangheili, a Major will have more combat experience than a Minor, but I cannot see how they are going to be significantly stronger. They will better address each situation, but that is about it. Most of the kills committed by Sangheili are done through the use of guns. Anyone below an Ultra is forbidden to bear a Plasma sword. It does not require significant physical strength to blow somebodies brains out. Therefore I see no indication of significantly increased physical strength being a prerequisite of nor a result of attaining the rank of Major.
When Joe Staten stated that fact in his interview, immediately what comes to mind is that a Major is equal to a Spartan in tactics. The Major has enough experience to judge a situation appropriately like a Spartan does.

Good luck getting a PhD if you can't even properly read a page.
Ad Hominen.
You have also ignored several facts I pointed out, and replaced their rebuttal with a typical childish personal attack such as this.
Where dose it say about a 10ft elite? Could be like another HW arbiter.
