When looking at information on things like MAC velocities and combat acceleration for ships, Chief jumping out of a pelican traveling one million km/s to catch up with a covenant ship in TFOR, is that information meant to supersede what we see in visual records like the games? Or should the visual narrative be closer to absolute truth? And outliers like the Encyclopedia with 40% light speed Mac rounds?
In short, what is the [canon] policy on available records? Is there are logical way to accept them all?
