The impact of the final choice = "slight variation". Right.

And oh how horrible that the things you've done aren't reflected in a completely unrelated event. How dare they not have your choice at the end of Rannoch affect the Crucible's activation, no matter how little sense it makes. After all, it's not as if there's a scene during Priority: Earth where your choices are reflected in numerous conversations and interactions.

Oh wait, there is? Well, better just keep insisting that the ending consists solely of the last ten minutes. Whatever is most suitable for your argument.
