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.

What Cortana meant is that they didn't know that there was that big of a human presence. They thought it was just another human world, not humanity's homeworld."I've been analyzing the Covenant tactical chatter. They're surprised, confused... I don't think they expected us to be here. Not... you and me...all of us... Humanity, on Earth. Odd, I know, but it does help explain why they came here with such a small fleet." ~CortanaThis clearly means that she meant that they didn't think they'd find any humans on Earth.
How would they have conducted research, it is not as if they've got a chart with all the planets in the galaxy and whatever is living on them? The Forerunners probably kept all what they knew in the dark, cause of the Flood, and they probably had their own type of Cole Protocol too.
Regret was looking for something, probably cause he and his fellow Prophets--yet again--jumped to conclusions after having tried to translate something Forerunner; there was something of significance in our solar system, but they obviously didn't know what. Then Regret did what he does best...
