He assumed both Chief, and Sesa 'Refumee knew how the ring worked and what it did exactly. Why?

I'd imagine something like that would be classified.

Forerunners limited his intelligence.

I'd expect it has something to do with his long period of isolation, or maybe the assumption that the others have access to the Domain.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

Some part of the forerunner plan clearly went wrong and the galaxy wasn't able to learn of the past as they should.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

Honestly, I've always thought of 343 as pretty dumb. He never asks anything, just assumes, and acts. ..oh, let's light the rings! .. *-blams!- the -blam!- off...* (at the end of The Covenant). He would have gained a lot by being more inquisitive. Even a defined dumb a.i, like the Superintendent makes a lot smarter decisions, based on observation and analysis. Maybe logic is a trade-off for becoming self-aware?

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

Spark has obviously lost it a little bit over the time of its isolation. That, and over the games he seems to think the history of the forerunners is common knowledge.

He's always seemed very eager to light the ring. He probably knew that if he explained everything clearly, no one would want to light it. As a result, he purposefully avoided explaining it fully whenever possible so that it would be activated.
