"A LIE is a LIE"
- Truly intelligent and deep Black ops trailer

That really just pissed me off. You can't just right off someones reason for not liking something because you don't think there reason is valid!
If the PoA being on Reach is so easily explained would you care to explain it to us? Then I'm sure we will all see how blind we were.
Did you not realize that in CE the PoA had crashed? No it would not be crushed, but it certainly wouldn't fly so easily. It was harder for the Sabre to lift off and it's a hundred times smaller.
No matter what someones reason for realizing Reach breaks canon and it overall hurts the Halo universe it's still their reason. You don't get to pick which ones are worthy.
Some of you who vote for 1 or 2 just say it's obvious or you use common sense and that they coexist perfectly. Yet the majority of us don't see it that way. Numbers don't lie.
An interview with Bungie/343 employees saying that they do work together isn't an explanations. It's not counted as canon is it?
Until a large amount of work is done on this we will not and never will view Halo Reach as proper canon. Even then a fair amount of people will be unhappy. We won't let this go.
PoA did all the tasks that were in FoR. PoA landed on Reach using temporary thrusters; grabbed Cortana fragment, lifted off and left to 04. Simples. No logical fallacies. Frankly, it only adds ONE HOUR of activity into the timeline. So don't use that "There wasn't enough time!" BS.
Of course the PoA crashed, it was even battered by covenant plasma fire. Even then, it did not get crushed in atmosphere. So why would a clean, non damaged PoA get crushed on reach? simple, it wouldn't. Hayclon ships are known for being sturdy, durable, and taking a huge amount of punishment while still being operable. So that's a stupid point, totally invalid.
And stop using Majority. Not everyone has voted here, and many that have voted no.3 use stupid reasons, as I have listed.
On top of that, 343 and Bungie have access to the Halo story bible, which is constantly updated for every new game and book. FoR is old, and I expect 343 and Microsoft will do an re-conned version for the fans. Wait and see. Currently, bungie has left the franchise so it is up to 343 to do the works.
