It's also stated that John was the last Spartan. Yet we know this to be untrue. After searching, yes the Spartan II 2nd Class was begun in 2537 (with the inclusion of the Axon Clips (I love bees) into Halo Canon.) However I gave that example to try and give the argument that no theory is a dumb theory as long as there is evidence to support the possibilities. What I mean by that is this. We were told that John was the last Spartan. Later, we find out that he was not. The possibility for there to be more Spartans was there.
A dumb theory would be the Forge/117 relation theories, as well as the Halsey/Anders. The ages that we have and the homeworld locations, mannerisms of individuals, marital status, etc. comepletely outrules any relations. Those theories seem to be made with the sole purpose of annoying people.
