User blog:CrackFoxJunior/A way to destroy the Reapers WITHOUT destroying EDI and the geth.

I found a MAJOR hole in the Catalyst's logic: (as if there weren't enough already, but I think this one has to be the biggest) The Catalyst claims that their is NO way to destroy the Reapers without destroying all synthetic life. But THEN he states that Shepard can sacrifice his own life to control the Reapers, and that this wouldn't destroy all synthetics, just Shepard. This being the case Shepard could easily control the Reapers, and pilot them into the the nearest sun. Now, the Reapers are extremely durable, but there is no way that the sun wouldn't destroy them. Better yet Shepard could pit the Reapers against eachother, and who's to say that he couldn't just make them stay perfectly still and allow the the galaxy to destroy them without fighting back?

Why did this never occur to the most powerful AI in the galaxy? Or am I missing something?
