I didn't really take the raloi into account, but you're right - even though it's possible their knowledge of the Reapers may degenerate somewhat while they're in hiding, they'll be going into things with a real head start.

Although I have to wonder whether their plan would actually work - even given their fairly unique circumstance of having just entered the interstellar age when the Reapers showed up, it's kind of hard to imagine that, in at least a billion years of Reaper cycles, no one has ever tried this before.
