Thank you, contributor, but your assumption relies on Shepard's survival of the Destroy option, which only happens if you achieve a certain EMS; and you're missing the most important point - even if it just an indoc attempt, the game's ending as is has provided even less closure than it has for the ending as is, no indoc. It makes the other options the "wrong ones," but to achieve and ending, there can be no "wrong choice." The endings all have one thing in common; they are endings, and there are those available where your EMS is so low that the Reapers continue to devastate the galaxy. Given that those endings offer complete failure, indoc is nullified because it wouldn't be necessary for Shepard to get that far and still fail.
