Err ONI was creating the Spartan IV since ORION's conception, but in secret. Effectively, the Spartan IV is a more refined version of a Spartan I. At this point, anything done by ONI could seem plausible simply because they are devious and know so much shit. But if you don't want to accept that then that's your way of dealing with things.
TLDR: Read Glasslands.
