I never understood the people that insist humans are Forerunners. Where is the geological evidence? Evolution is one of the best theories science has put out, and there is no room in human evolution for us going into space. Perhaps it was homoe erectus? Maybe they went straight from chipping rocks to building giant ringworlds? And they flapped their arms to travel through space, because they didnt leave any evidence of technology! IMO it seems downright silly that a company as smart as Bungie, would ignore the facts!
Also, I have the following:
1. But humans use Forerunner stuff instinctively! There is no evidence the rest of the Covenant do not use Forerunner tech in the same intuitive way we do. The Arbiter would be unable to open the tunnels on Sacred Icon, because only sentinels were meant to use them. And that previous sentence is moot if we consider Normal mode to be canon.
2. But only humans are Reclaimers! Whomever is chosen to handle the Index may become a Reclaimer. Guilty Spark picked humans on Installation 04 because they didnt release the Flood. If they are smart enough to obey containment protocol, humans would appear to be better educated about Halo. When Guilty Spark says as you fight Tartarus, "And may I say, reclaimers, it has been a pleasure to serve you both. Good bye..." he would be referring to Miranda (who grabbed the index), and the Arbiter (who let Miranda in by lowering the containment shield). Guilty Spark would assume they were in on it together, in an attempt to stop the Flood outbreak in the Quarantine Zone. So an Elite might now be a Reclaimer!
3. Your points are silly. Everything points to humans being Forerunners. Making it look like Humans are Forerunners, when in fact they arent related, would be a nice plot twist. Also, the more people who fall for it, the less likely it is someone will figure the truth out and ruin the story.
And a parting thought: "Silence fills the empty grave, now that I have gone. But my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on. Now I will ask, and you will answer." As Gravemind says this, he suggests even someone as smart as him is confused by Halo's plot! A humbling thought.
