Tali'Zorah: It's good to be back on the Normandy.
Commander Shepard: Let me know if it's too quiet for you to sleep, and I'll find you someplace louder.
Tali'Zorah: Hmm.
Garrus Vakarian: Uh, I was there when you two had your thing, remember? Just get a room and work it out. |

He says, "as you read the novels, they get progressively bigger". No part of that is "easily interpreted as a lolno".
The novels we are referencing place the Space Marines in the same range as Goodwin does, but allow for the occasional anomaly. There is no contradiction here.

He obviously does not agree with the novels, and he jokes about it. If you do not think this qualifies as a "haha, that's not how it works", that is your interpretation then and not something we can really argue about.

Then why is it that we have so many people argue that Space Marines are 9, 10 or 11 feet high? Just read the first dozen pages of this very thread. I could have sworn Abnett's Marines are frequently displayed as hitting the 3 meter mark. At least from what people claimed.
Note that I have always agreed, including in this thread, that there may be exceptions, presumably based on the Chapter's recruitment world or even their geneseed. This is why the seven feet in armour are called an average. That said, it must also be kept in mind that for every "plus" you add above the range, there must also be a "minus".
