Maybe. I like to think Ancient Humanity surpassed the Forerunners in technological ability (hence their creation of a Flood 'cure'), and they only lost due to being outnumbered and weakened after the human-Flood war.
I also like to think the 'Forerunner' crystal on Reach is actually of human design. It's clearly not Precursor as it would have needed the Organon to work.
Wasn't the cure confirmed false? I am fairly certain the cure didn't actually do anything and it was just the Flood retreating because humanity proved themselves worthy to uphold the Mantle by sacrificing a third of their population.
Also, where was it said that Precursor tech needs the Organon to work? Bornstellar admitted it was just a myth, but he hoped it was true.
Well it wasn't really a cure or anything, the person being infected by the Flood still got infected and effectively died...but to my understanding the "cure" would be a sort of counter-infection on the Flood and would start killing or harming them in some way, which forced their retreat *shrug* That's more or less what I took it to be, the people infected by the Flood who had the "cure" still died, but their deaths introduced a counter-infection of sorts into the Flood that was harming them.
Yeah, unfortunately that option is not available anymore, because the flood adapted and came back immune to it, i think thats why they say there is no cure anymore, because it works only once.
