Lately I've realized that the whole story behind Half-Life will never be fully explained. I think Valve realizes the genius of those old horror movies, where you'd never really see the entire monster or why it's there, but you're given hints on what it does and how it acts, leaving it up to the audience to fill in the peices for themselves. If Valve fully disclosed every answer to ever question in sequels, then it would ruin it for the player. Sure, you think you want to know, but really, in the long run, you want to be safe in your own conclusions, which is picture perfect in your own mind.
So really, trying to explain anything in Half-Life that has been left unexplained and claim it as fact is foolish, as the writer tries very hard to make sure he doesn't make one explanation more plausible than another.
Everyone truly knows what Half-Life is, and then again, no one does.
