You missed my meaning...

In Response To: Leave the Cortana Letters out of this. (Louis Wu) : Do not make the mistake of calling the Cortana Letters canon, or : pseudo-canon, or near-canon. Bungie has said many times, in no uncertain : terms, that these letters, as a canonical aspect of the Halo universe, : were discarded years and years ago. The inclusion of individual lines into : Halo 3 is nothing more than a tip of the hat to old-time fans. : The reasoning behind their abandonment as canon has nothing to do with their : consistency, or Bungie's faith that they would have made a good story - : it's that they were used, improperly, by an overeager Bungie employee in : ways that nobody involved in the story had intended, and it was easier to : dump them altogether than it was to try and patch up the holes. Here's a more complete quotation: "And we do our best to sew the former into canon as we find them - are reminded of their potential. The Cortana Letters are an excellent example of this phenomenon. For all sorts of reasons, they lingered in canonical purgatory for years. But when we needed some compelling dialog to remind folks what's at stake in Halo3: Bam! Newfound utility! Alas, I'd have to say that, as of now, the only canonized parts of the letters are the fragments we pulled for use in the announcement trailer." My point was that Bungie tried fitting them into canon at some point, just like ILB. I never stated that they were, are, or will ever be.

Where's the Chief?
