User blog comment:Ygrain/EDI vs. Catalyst: now, who's the more advanced AI here?/@comment-5287758-20121211073656/@comment-4950455-20121212000834

As I've said more than once, I found the Catalyst to make much more sense as a character after learning about the guys who built it.

(The fact that their motives were less "achieve peace between synthetics and organics" and more "make these annoying wars stop happening" doesn't hurt, either).
