An Elite Minor kicked John's ass on Gamma Station. He BARELY beat it.
You know, I'm getting really tired of this particular argument :P
The biggest issue with using this as evidence is that it no longer really makes sense in the context of the universe because the first contact with Elites has been retconned and they've been fought throughout the war. John would have had the experience of many encounters with all different kinds of Elites as well as loads of intel on their fighting styles and such by that point in time. So the entire fight would be very difference because it isn't his first encounter with one. The whole context of the fight has changed because it's no longer John's first time fighting an Elite, so really that particular passage with the fight should have been tweaked a bit. You certainly can't take it at face value anymore.
And it most definitely did not kick his ass, he had difficulty with it, sure, but that is not the same as it kicking his butt. And if I recall, wasn't the Minor a pretty big Elite? I seem to remember it being like 10 feet tall or something >_>
