:The entire situation with the Human-Covenant War is essentially an [[wikipedia:Excession#Outside_Context_Problem|Outer Context Problem]]. To use examples from the events of World War Two is wrong: those empires/governments/factions are similar in terms of military technological achievement. The easiest and best example of understanding how the Human-Covenant War was fought is to look back to events during the expansion of the Old Empires (i.e. British, Spanish, Dutch, French) on native lands of the Americas, Indian Seas, Africa and the islands near Australia, where most native empires are driven to extinction. Military commanders have the tendency to be bold (and make rash decision) when they are technologically superior than their opponent, eventually underestimating their opponent's abilities (i.e. recent example being Afghanistan War and the '60s-'80s Vietnam War). — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 21:52, 30 October 2012 (EDT) | :The entire situation with the Human-Covenant War is essentially an [[wikipedia:Excession#Outside_Context_Problem|Outer Context Problem]].

::In the beginning of the war the covenant didn't even bother with a ground battle. They just glassed planets. In HW the Humans won because the sentinels wanted them to. The Covenant cared about earth due to the portal and not about other inner colonies. And again, the Humans won because the Forerunners set it all up. If the forerunners didn't pass the mantle then the covenant would have won. And the San'Shyuum "poisoned" the Sangheili minds by instilling the ideas of Honor during infancy. | |||

:Well they most likely age at a different rate, Jul is probably in what would be a human's 30s, is what I would guess.

Thanks for answers, guys. And I know "sapient" would have been a better word to use; I was just in a bit of a hurry when I wrote that. | Thanks for answers, guys. And I know "sapient" would have been a better word to use; I was just in a bit of a hurry when I wrote that. | ||

Sangheili are colourblind. They cannot see purple. The entire time they thought that they were using blue. Their visual spectrum ranges from Blue to the infrabrown range. Therefore it can be assumed that they do not have a word for purple and instead they use other species' words to describe colours in the purple region that they cannot see. Josh Holmes and Frankie conformed that on Twitter. Check my Twitter for the source because I cannot link you since I am on mobile phone.

:[https://twitter.com/JoshingtonState/status/458279139850858497 For ease of reference]. Anyway, what is confirmed by the the staff is this: Elites are [[wikipedia:Dichromacy|dichromats]] <s>and they cannot perceive blue (tritanopia)</s>. Not so sure what is meant by "infrabrown range". Other than that is MasterBuilder's own speculation. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 15:05, 21 April 2014 (EDT) | :[https://twitter.com/JoshingtonState/status/458279139850858497 For ease of reference].

Nobody said that they are dichromats, only that they see our purple as blue. We should ask Frankie for clarification. About infra brown; brown is made of black,yellow and red and covers many wavelengths. We should state only that Sangheili see purple as blue. {{Unsigned| | Nobody said that they are dichromats, only that they see our purple as blue. We should ask Frankie for clarification.

:Considering the source linked sounds entirely like a joke at Mr. O'Connor's expense, I would err on the side of doubt until we get a more official source for it. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 06:59, 22 April 2014 (EDT) | |||
For now we should leave it as it is. What we can do is bombard 343i on Twitter about the subject. I can get a couple of Archivers to assist.{{Unsigned|The Master Builder}} | |||
If the Sangheili can't see purple, why didn't some of their weaponry end up blue. they could have easily messed up the colors. this is a pretty obvious thing[[User:Sallan|Sallan]] ([[User talk:Sallan|talk]]) 23:40, 30 August 2014 (EDT)Sallan | |||
