When the Precursors unleashed the Flood on the prehistoric humans, they passed a test and the Flood chose not to infect them, according to the Primordial. What is this test and why did the Forerunners not pass it?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Old Salty27 The idea that the Flood is the Precursors or the Flood itself is a type of twisted test is just a bit much. It would make more sense if the Flood was a experiment gone horribly wrong by a group of wacked Precursors and not a psychotic test meant to prove what species should have dominion over the galaxy.[/quote] Why is it "a bit too much"? Why does your version "make more sense"? On what basis would what you want to happen be at all credible? The 'experiment gone wrong' trope is one of the most overused, unoriginal and cliche ideas in sci-fi.
