Subject: What is more important, the actual game doctrine, or 343's?

In the games, specifically Halo 3, Truth hints that humans are the actual Forerunner, Johnson says, "What, can't start your own party," to which Truth basically says: I can't light the rings, because only your race, whose ancestors made the Ark, and therefore are the Forerunners, can. Or at least so far as I can tell from how the dialogue goes.
The 343 stories tell a different tale. Humans are as old as the Forerunners, but were basically wiped out by the actions of the Forerunners as they tried to finish off the Flood. Again, so far as I can tell.

Fire for Effect. Fire and Forget.

Forerunners are the ancestral race to Humanity. They aren't human, but they knew Humanity was the most fit to control the Galaxy once the Forerunners were gone. Humanity was always the Forerunner's second, and they did this even after having a massive war with humanity 100,000 years before the events of Halo.

Humanity was actually just as, if not in some ways even more advanced than the Forerunners back then. WE even found a cure to the Flood, but, it was destroyed likely in a forerunner attack (?), by mistake. They beat Humanity, because Humanity fought the Flood and was weakened by them. and such was the downfall that led to the Forerunners building the Halos, and... Boom.

Truth says nothing like that. He says he needs his help firing it however no one will ever know that once the ring is fired because they will be dead.
