 * 1) But isn't the reverse true as well? Even if Silver has somehow heard of END and Igneel fighting in the past, he still wouldn't have had any more than the most general idea, so any plan of his couldn't have accounted for Igneel and his greater knowledge of the Demon.
 * 2) Now you're just fanboying far beyond logic. He "allowed" Natsu to give an explanation and when Natsu didn't provide it of his own he disregarded everything and dared Natsu to attack him instead of asking?
 * You're basically saying that Gray is staking the fate of the entire world on Natsu's ability to pick up on something he neither said nor even implied...


 * 1) It matters because Igneel has actual experience on the matter. Silver and Gray only have theories and educated guesses without any proof to them. Even in failure you can still learn a lot. For example you might realize the mistake that caused you to fail and thus enable you to succeed the next time.
 * Besides Igneel only failed to destroy END completely, but we don't know how or what the consequences were. For all we know Igneel could have destroyed ENDs body (causing it to be sealed in the book), but was driven off by an entire army of Demons before being able to destroy the book. Or END might have hidden it's book in a place were Igneel couldn't find it after destroying the body. Or END might have sent Igneel packing. Or their fight might have been interrupted by a third party before coming to a conclusion.
 * Without context this knowledge about Igneel failing the first time is next to useless, except for knowing that they fought and Igneel managed to survive the battle.


 * 1) I'd say something really bad will happen if Natsu let's Gray do as he wants.
