That's the point though. This is supposed to be an incredibly advanced AI built for the express purpose of solving this supposed conflict. His "solution" should at least make a lick of sense from a logical stand-point. In a pure statistical sense, it seems unlikely that all synthetics will rebel against their creators. Just look at the Geth. They never rebelled, the "rebellion" was purely a war of "Hey Quarian people, CAN YOU STOP KILLING US!?!?" survival. Ignoring that, I doubt the Geth are the only odd ones out. Even then, the Reapers just seem like a hap-dashed patch job rather than a millenia spanning solution for this complex problem. Why hasn't the Catalyst even attempted at coming up with a more viable solution ala Synthesis? It's like he had no possible back-up plan if by the off chance his Reapers were defeated by a cycle that managed to develop past their own by some off chance. For what is supposed to be an incredibly advanced AI who only had ONE JOB, it doesn't seem like he took into account all the factors.
