User blog comment:Legionwrex/Why Destroy is the worst ending (besides refusal)./@comment-4950455-20120706082135/@comment-899316-20120706150939

The thing is, the synthetics vs, organics conflict is what BioWare went with for the Reapers' purpose. It's as simple as that. It is a truly lame justification, which contradicts parts of the series, is presented quite poorly, and is wholly unexpected, but  none of that makes it false. Just lame. The synthetics vs. organics thing is true, whether we like it or not, and thus it must focus into ending discussion, as one should strive for a point in their ending where the current cycle exists in peace, without the looming threat of extinction-grade synthetics on the horizon. To that end, I believe Control to be the best ending.

Also, the arguments presented by Mr. Legionwrex do seem a bit condescending, but they do apply to some people. I acknowledge that, in all likelihood, most people who chose Destroy did so for well-thought out reasons, and not just to see Shep breathing under some rubble. Some people were not so intelligent about it, however, and they, I think, are who this blog is mainly directed at.
