oh yes because we all know that the covenant will neatly divide in half at the beginning of halo 3 and we will all go on with our business.
it's much more complicated than that. you try telling all the grunts, elites, and hunters out there on earth that their entire religiojn is a lie and that they are betrayed by the elites. they're not just going to go "OK LET ME JUST IGNORE MY ENTIRE RELIGIOUS BELIEF BECAUSE SOME ELITE WITH THE MARK OF SHAME ON HIM TOLD ME SO"
besides, the forces at earth probably dont even know what happened on high charity/delta halo yet. covenant communications are not instantaneous.
