Leaders are very powerful. Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, the Roman Emperors. One person leading an army can achieve incredible things. The storyline never said without a shadow of a doubt that the Reapers cannot be beaten. if they did then it would be something of a cop out that suddenly the game has to recon itself. But they didn’t. In this case they have said Thane is incurable. to put something like that forward only to undo it with a magical cure is unbelievable. And if you want further proof Spart already pointed out that the Protheans were an empire with no external threats. In such a stagnated position they military must have floundered. This in contrast to the numerous forces constantly competing with each other in military, politic al and economic matters now.
