Subject: Why were the humans made reclaimers?

As far as I can tell, after the Human-Forerunner war the Forerunner had no real respect for the ethics of human. They saw them as xenophobics with a desire to conquer and control. Granted, Didact did later find out the war was initially started as a result of the flood and later even felt bad for the humans. They still don't seem as the best choice to replace the Forerunners. Especially if they expected to have the reclaimer species uphold the mantle.
I'll admit I don't know too much about the pre-flood war era so I'm probably missing some important information.
Does anyone know?

when the floods did invade the galaxy . no one race had the power to stop them except the forunner. but by the time they had developed the halo rings they where too late to save a perfect genome sample of forunner population , as they were too far down the infection , they had been able to save dna of there most identical counter parts the humans , even tho they where at war with them . they where not made reclaimers , reclaimers is just the title given to a person(s) who will activate the ring once more to wipe out the flood

Uh......where did you get any of that from? They chose the human race because of two things: the Librarian's wisdom (we're unique for reasons yet unknown for sure, though I believe its likely got to do witj our connection with the Precursors and Forerunners) and our being the only race in the universe to have ever defeated any form of the Flood.

And Reclaimer means inheritor of the Mantle of Life, guardian of the universe.

i also think the humans were the only thing to reach tier 4 technology other then the forunners. and i forgot the reason but even though we were at war with them they highly respected the humans.

The ancient humans where tier 1 as the forerunners...
The future humans are going to be tier 3 at cov-unsc war.
The covenant reached tier 2 at that time.

I want a source for that or else you are pushing what your interpretation is for that word.
