The geth and quarians are an example in this case. Quarians did start it, but without shepard the quarians would most have likely been destroyed. The AI machine on the citadel that kills itself as a "defense measure" for self preservation. How often have humans kept messing with creating AIs despite the council laws? Humans in my opinion would of done the same and also lost. ME2 currupt motherboards were made, causing the machines to uprise against its makers and spreading the virus into other machines. That again shepard went to deal with it.

It would be nice if organics could step back and assess the situation to see if peace is attainable, quarians like humans fear things when they are not in control. Good thing krogans didn't build any self thinking war machines, yet...

Creators that can't get along with each other, will most likely not get along with what it creates when the creator loses control over them.
