Long story short: I want to change the article to reflect the ambiguity of the Precursor's selection of humanity for the Mantle, but I also don't want to tread on any toes. Does anyone else agree that the article presents something that's rather ambiguous as fact, or should I leave it as it is?

:I'd take anything the Gravemind or the Primordial say with a grain of salt for sure, but I don't think there's any evidence ''against'' humanity's supposed inheritance of the Mantle either. In any case, I think the narrative's intent was to point it out as a fact, hence we see no one questioning its veracity or proving the Precursor entities wrong. Of course, it's still not fully clear-cut in the strictest sense given that we never "see" it happen and there's no unreliable narrator to declare it as factual. I suppose you could point out the ambiguity on the page. The article could do with some expansion and clarification too, particularly in regard to the nature of the Mantle itself and how it ties in with the Precursors' abstract ideas about life. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:01, 19 February 2014 (EST) | |||
