Again, I’m not saying you guys are wrong. All of this is just speculation as the article is rather vague on the matter… but first off:

The Reapers have no ego, they are machines and, as such, they make decisions based solely on logic. Well… logic dictates that you don’t make a fighting force to fight an enemy and have half of them eaten by the other half while in battle. That defeats the whole purpose, doesn’t it?...

Second who’s to say that there will be other people running around which are supposed to keep from being eaten, a case similar to the colonist on Feros or the scientist on “Besieged Base”?
