This bit:

"The "organics vs. synthetics" conflict can be avoided by simply using Reapers powers of speech and/or indoctrination to warn the current organics and destroy any research stations that try to create advanced synthetics (for added impact, the scientists could be huskified in order to truly drive the point home.)"

Who is to say the starchild/reapers didnt try that the first 10-50 Cycles ? And the end result was that organics ALWAYS end up making AI that try to wipe them out, even though the Reapers went to great links to warn them, threaten them and brainwash them into not doing it.

Also, we (organics) know that whenever an overlord (Reapers) tell his peasant population (organics) that they must really, really not do something, he can be dead sure that is the one thing that they will do. No matter how much the Reapers tried to stop the organics from making AI, aside from outright killing everyone, the organics would try to build them simply because they thought it could give them an edge against the Reapers or against other organics.

I dont buy it and I think the original version from Bioware actually has some merit if you set aside the shortsightedness of human life and start to think in the grand scheme where each individual life doesnt matter or even each kind of life but where the concept of organic life itself is the important thing. If the starchild KNOWS that the organics will ALWAYS (been proven the last many million years) build AI that enevitably end up trying to wipe out the organics, why then even take the chance just to be confirmed in your suspicions for the umpteenth time.
