No, it does matter. Biowares word, is law. If you don't want to believe the truth, and, to paraphrase Adam from Mythbusters, "Reject reality and substitute your own", more power to you. Maybe if there where direct evidence that 100% disproved the Catalyst, you would have a point, but there isn't.

It's still Shepard, but it is an "ascended" version of Shepard. The difference would be like switching from an animal to a human being. Maybe if my Shepard was renegade, you would have a point, but he isn't, he is 100% pure paragon.

I really don't understand how they would merge with the Reapers, it never said anything like that in the ending. The peace is because organics and synthetics now understand each other, along with organics understanding the minds of people with different opinions, making it so there would be no war.
